Check your bearings and brakes
We put 6,000 miles on our 2022 189DD, and given the other poor factory work decided maybe it was a good idea to do an axle check. The mechanic assumed the brakes would be auto-adjust - wrong, manual adjust (which he did). And he said that the factory had put barely enough grease into the hub, and the rear seals were damaged.
I did a couple other mods to the trailer this spring. The dinette table top would easily bounce free of its floor mounts. I installed a nylon strap & buckle between each set of top & bottom mounts. The straps are easily tightened to prevent the top from bouncing off, and with the buckle, still easily removed to convert the dinette into a (tiny) bed.
I also spent the the money to add SumoSprings - a high-density urethane foam block between leaf spring and frame. The foam acts like a shock absorber to reduce trailer bounce.
