LEAF SPRING HANGERS ARE BENDING FROM TURNS DUE TO POOR DESIGN AND NO REINFORCEMENT. AFTER SO MANY TIMES THAT THEY BEND BACK AND FORTH STRESS POINTS ARE CREATED AND THE METAL FATIGUES AND SNAPS, AND THE SUSPENSION AND AXLE BECOMES UNHINGED FROM THE TRAILER AT THE POINT OF FAILURE WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PERSONS TOWING IT, CREATING ERRATIC HANDLING. IF ANY OF THE OTHER 3 SPRING HANGERS TO THAT AXLE HAS THE SAME FAILURE THE WHOLE AXLE CAN COME UNATTACHED TO THE TRAILER. THEIR ARE COMPANY'S THAT ARE MAKING AND SELLING AFTERMARKET PARTS TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT THE MANUFACTURER IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT SO FAR.

WE HAVE FOUND SEVERAL STRUCTURAL FRAME MEMBERS WITH SUBSTANDARD WELDS. WE HAVE EVEN FOUND ONE WALL FRAME MEMBER THAT HAS COMPLETELY SEPARATED FROM THE FLOOR FRAME. ALL OF THESE ARE HIDDEN AND CANNOT BE SEEN WITHOUT REMOVING BODY PANELS. ADDITIONALLY WE HAVE NUMEROUS PLACES IN SIDE WALLS THAT ARE DELAMINATING CAUSING A LOSS OF STRUCTURAL STABILITY. WE HAVE CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER TO REQUEST WARRANTY REPAIRS. KEYSTONE HAS DENIED ALL REPAIRS.

NEW FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE LIPPERT BRAKES HAD NOT BEEN ADJUSTED TO SEAT THE SHOES INTO THE DRUM. I HAD A LOCAL HORSE TRAILER DEALERSHIP ADJUST AND SEAT EACH OF THE 4 BRAKES PRIOR TO OUR FIRST TRIP, AS WELL AS CHECK THE HUBS. NO GREASE WAS ADDED; THE EXISTING GREASE APPEARED IN GOOD CONDITION, AND THE DRUMS WERE SHINY AND DRY. WE DROVE OVER DONNER SUMMIT WITHOUT INCIDENT. THE 2018 ONE TON TOW RIG HAS AN EXHAUST BRAKE, SO BRAKING ON THE DESCENT WAS MINIMAL. AFTER PASSING THROUGH RENO, BEFORE CARSON CITY I NOTICED THE TRAILER PUSHING THE TRUCK AND TESTED TRAILER BRAKING BY APPLYING THE TRAILER BRAKES ONLY, WHICH IS POSSIBLE WITH A THUMB LEVER ON THE GM FACTORY INTEGRATED BRAKE CONTROLLER…
