RE: 3-axle tire wear.
Well, i drove the TH 6 hrs to Eclipse a few weeks ago for the axle issue. I have to say, they were very eager to find out why the axles were bending. Cant say the same about Lipert. They told Eclipse they were on there own. So, Eclipse is replacing the axle's with 7k axle's. So, they are replacing 3 axle's, 6 tires and rims, and reinforcing a few things with the suspension. Hopefully i will be a "happy camper" when all is said and done and i can take a trip without KNOWING i have to take it back into the shop when we get home.

RE: 3-axle tire wear.
Thanks for all the info. The tires say to run a max 80psi cold. I run 75psi cold. The TH is a 2013 Attitude 39TSG 3-axle. We made it down to Johnson Valley but, we were 15 miles from home when the rt rr tire blew. Come to find out when they replaced the rear axle and Trail America tires. They installed 235/85 r16, E-load. The other 4 tires are 235/80 R16 E-load. The tires they installed only had 860 miles on them before it blew. Trail America is made by a Co. called Treadit. They were very helpful. They are sending 3 new tires out. Once i get the tires installed the TH is heading down to Eclipse in Riverside. Not to happy with Eclipse. And maybe its just MY TH but, we've had it for a year. Used it 8 times and every time we use it it ends up in the shop. Not once have we been able to come home from a trip and just put it away issue free!! I hope by taking it to Eclipse i wont have any more issues!! LOL. We've towed it approx 5400 miles, 1444 mi of that was to take it in for repairs!! Sorry for the rambling. Had to vent.

RE: Brake away pin GREMLINS
It's not always people. Last year we started to pull out from fueling up and the trailer brakes locked up. I got out and checked everything. The last thing i checked/expected was for the pin to be removed. I noticed the cable that is connected to the pin was wedged between the king pin and hitch. I now make sure the cable is secured away from the king pin and hitch contact surface. Good thing we were'nt on the Hwy!!!!!

3-axle tire wear.
We bought a new 3-axle TH 5er March, 2012. It's my first 3-axle. I dont make sharp turns or run over curbs to throw the axle's outta wack. But, the outside and inside of the front and rear axle tires are showing good signs of wear and will have to be replaced in the near future. I know that 3-axle's are known for dragging those axle tires. It's a long shot but, just wanted to find out if anyone knows how to get more life outta 3-axle tires OR am i looking to replace tires every 1 1/2- 2 years???

RE: New Attitude Water Tank Issue
I have a 2013 Attitude 39tsg. I have the same issue. Had the dealer check it out and Eclipse told them to re-place the vent tube. They did that but, still having an issue. I spoke with Danny at Eclipse. His answer, everybody has issues with water filling. Im not a fan of Eclipse.

RE: Triple axle Attitude
Oh ya, the trailer has a 14ft garage that holds our RZR-4 and 2-Honda 250ex. The quads have to be standing up in order for everything to fit.

RE: Triple axle Attitude
I have a 2013 Eclipse Attitude 39TSG 3-axle. Havent had it for a year and we have had the front and rear axle's replaced (under warranty). Havent ran over any curbs/big objects. I try not to make sharp turns but i have made 1 sharp U turn. The right side center axle tire rubbed the under carrage. I found that when we got home from when we bought it. I dont know what the issue is. Plus, countless other issues. The trailer has been in the shop more than at my home. Every trip creates more problems. NOT a believer in Eclipse trailers. For what it's worth, customer service is very good.

Foam coming from water??
I have 3 water sources inside the TH. Shower, kitchen sink and bathroom sink. The kitchen sink and shower are fine. But, foam builds up with the bathroom sink water running. Its not coming up from the down pipe. I can hold my hand under the water and watch foam build. Why?

SafeGlow camp locator.
I purchased the "lighted" camp locator from SafeGlow. Someone told me that i can put spade connectors on the wiring and plug it into the trucks 7-pin connector. If this is true. Which of the 7 pin's do i plug into? I would plug into the trailer but, those batteries dont last long without the "gen". Thoughts???

2012 RZR 4, 1 inch higher on Left side. Weak spring??
The RZR was bottoming out in the rear last time we went to Pismo (no jumping). I attempted to stiffen the rear springs. But, when i measured the hieght on each side in the rear, and found the left side of the RZR to be 1 inch taller. I'm thinking that the RT RR spring has weakened. Would it hurt anything if i stiffened up the right spring more than the left to bring it to an equal ride hieght in the rear??

What is the best HID headlight replacement for a RZR?
I have a 2012 RZR 4. I've been looking at Eagle Eye and Vision X HID's headlight replacement. But, i dont know which one to go with. I dont want to have to use any Silicone or do any "fab work". Plug and play!! I'd rather have HID's "white" color rather than a "blue" color. I like the bright white. What would you recomend??

Rotten egg/sulfur smell coming from hot water.
We've had our hauler for about 5 months now. On our trip this past weekend. I was half way through my shower when i noticed this god awful smell coming from the water. When i was done, i smelled the hot water from the kitchen. It was coming from there too. I thought it might be the rod in the water heater. Come to find out that this tank doesnt have a rod to be replaced. Or if it does its not accessable from the outside. Also, the smell doesnt come from the cold water. What could be the cause??

RE: 55 gal Fresh water barrels.
My TH carries 100 gal fresh water. I usually take an extra 45 gal water bladder with us to the desert. The bladder is a pain in my backside. Im looking at a company called US Plastic Corp. I can get a 55 gal barrel for $113 and a pump for around $40. Does that sound about right?? And, i believe it was FREE shipping.
Gordon, I was just thinking of a water bladder, can you explain why you found it such a pain to use? Just asking. The bladder is 45 gal and lays flat. With the hitch and wood in the bed there isnt enough room. I have to make sure every inch of the bladder is covered, so the wood doesnt splinter off into the bladder.
