RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
Original question was about the rim's max psi rating. Some rims will have this info listed to where it can be read with the tire off. Ours do not have this info anywhere listed on it.
I tried contacting the manufacture awhile back with zero success... here is the info if anyone else want to try:
HiSpec Wheels
_
I just contacted them. Our wheels (Series 07 - 6 bolt HiSpec) with the metal valve stems are rated at 110 PSI

RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
Yikes.... here is that sticker you guys have been referencing and boy is it wrong information. Attitude really should send out a letter to their customers on this one :E

RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
That is a Series 06 HiSpec wheel -capacity is 3200 lbs in a 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern. 80 psi is ok and verifiable with HiSpec.
Thanks mapguy,
Just so there is no confusion..... these are the wheels that come with the Attitude along with E rated tires calling for 80 PSI. They are actually Series 07 - 6 bolt HiSpec Here are the specs
I have no idea why the rigs would have a sticker calling for 65 PSI.... that's inviting blowouts.

As a side note.... these style wheels make it impossible to hang alignment tools on as they have no edge lip. If you take your TH to have the axles aligned, you'll have to ask the shop to mount regular steel wheels on the rig for the alignment process.

RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
My sticker is on the side of the trailer...and I too have abnormal wear. Mine are cupping on the outside. My brakes are also grabby, but that is another story.
Any chance you could post a photo of that sticker.... ?
That sticker makes no sense????

RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
its funny because my sticker on the side of mine says 65 psi to fill the tires. I have always been under the impression that you want to keep them topped off to prevent blowouts. How many miles do you think were on the tires when they blew?
Was that sticker on the wheel? If so, where was it, on the front or back of the wheel?
Anyone else have these stickers....? These rigs come with E rated tires requiring 80 PSI cold pressure.
BTW, I had this blow out coming back from the desert a couple of weeks ago. I also needed to have the axles aligned as I was getting very poor and uneven tire wear.

RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
I like the shelves, looks good .... I might copy that idea.
Can you post up the details on the stain used ?
Been thinking about changing the wiring on the lights above the headboard. Right now one siwtch on the passenger side controls both lights. Would like to have them wired seperately with a switch on both sides.
_
I used basswood for the shelving…….. "Tilia Americana"
MIxed……
5 tablespoons of MINIWAX Wood Finish "Red Chestnut 232"
1 tablespoon of MINWAX Wood Finish "Dark Walnut 2716"
Let dry…… sand with fine paper or steel wool and then use a clear semi gloss finish.
As far as the interior light go…I removed the lights that came with the rig and installed some swivel marine interior lights, each controlled by a switch on the light. So basically, the new lights are powered full time and each can be turned on separately.

RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
The wife wanted some shelves next to the upstairs bed. I matched the stain fairly well and finished installing them this morning...

RE: Wheel and Axle Alignment Question
speaking of alignment, i get bad tire marks when turning.. is this a sign of axle alignment?
Nope..... what your showing is very normal. For alignment problems, look for significant uneven tire wear and also consider rotating all the tires every 5000 miles.
When I'm on pavement, I try to avoid turning hard and generally take very wide exaggerated turns to minimize tire scuff.

RE: Wheel and Axle Alignment Question
I've owned it over a year and it's way past warranty. I wanted new tires anyway. The alignment is $189...
No big deal. Attitude is a great company...... some of the dealers are for ****
Is the alignment check $189 or does that also include aligning it ??
If they are aligning it, how are the doing it (cutting off the hangers and rewelding or an alignment kit) ??
I stopped in to Camping World and they said if I needed an alignment the only way they would do it is with an alignment kit thus raising the toyhauler and it would cost about $1000.
_
I never heard of an alignment kit....... ???
Perhaps they are quoting to do an axle flip..... which gives you more clearance if you're going offroad.
Axle alignment can be done by bending the axle to specs.
$189 covers the complete alignment. If you need to have it done, go to a wheel alignment center that does the big commercial trucks. I would not go to Camper World for axle alignment.

Wheel and Axle Alignment Question
With just over 6000 miles on this (2)axle rig, I had one tire worn 90%, another 70%...... clearly indicating alignment issues.
I'll need to bring the rig into a truck center to adequately do the repairs.
My question is..... should the toyhauler be empty of weight or loaded with water and the toys when I get the rig aligned?
Thanks

RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
Anyone know what max PSI our rims are rated at on these ??
The weight sticker shows the weight capacity with the tires at 65psi. Is that what our rims are rated at or would it be higher ??
_
Mine stock tires are E rated and 80 PSI

RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
How often would you suggest a person to rotate tires and in what pattern do you rotate them ??_
My recollection was that the rear tires got more wear due to scuffing caused when you make your turns. Try to make your turns as wide as possible and that will help some. When I could measure the difference in tire tread, I switched the worse worn tires to the location of the least worn tires.
Next time you make a sharp left hand turn, poke your head out the window and you'll see how much the tires have to flex which causes them to scuff. :E

RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
Here ya go - the only triple axle 28AKL (that I am aware of).
It isn't complete yet as the fender flare cut outs do not exactly match up to the axle placement. The fender flares are different sizes between the double and triple(height and width). So I gotta go out next week and pick up some more metal for the side skirt area to reposition the fender flares. It is sitting on the side yard right now but I will get another full side picture like the original "before" pic soon.
Front axle was left in the same position. The second axle was moved rearward 2" for the conversion.
I also had the Trailair EquaFlex installed. Not sure what made the HUGE different in ride quality (3 axles or Trailair) but it tows alot smoother now.
I couldn't find a matching center cap for the wheels on the added axle.... I know it is minor, but it bugs me. I've looked all over with no luck.
Here are some pics that I can get in the tight area where it is parked right now.

Really nice work..... Hate to think it's gonna get dirty at some time ;)
When I had my triple axle toyhauler, I found it best to rotate the tires more frequently. You'll probably notice the most wear on the rear axle tires.

Mossberg Trailers......1971
June 1971..... I bought this new 17' Mossberg trailer and hit the road for a summer cross county trip. It had a couple of minor fix-it issues and one of the places I was going to stop was Nappanee, Indiana at their plant.
About 2 hours into Indiana we had the radio on and heard that the Mossberg trailer plant had burned to the ground that day
Needless to say the firearms company made a big mistake trying to enter the RV business.
I just pulled the sales brochure out of the attic
Anyone else own one of these Mossbergs?

RE: HDMI Spitter Question Regarding Satellite Reciever
Will you run Cat 5 wire to the bedroom or an actual HDMI cable?
Maybe a dumb question but I am considering the same thing.
Sorry about the spelling in the Subject :E
Now we have TV in the bedroom...... both satellite and TV antenna connected. I was able to snake a 25' HDMI cable between the roof and ceiling from the satellite receiver next to the living room TV
There was a structural frame member in the wall that runs from the floor to the ceiling which I bolted the swing out bracket to.
Here is my discussion about the splitter on the Satellite Guys forum:

RE: Does anyone else own the 2012 Attitude FL28AKLG
Great job !!
Does your mount lock in position or are you planning on removing the television while towing ??_
I put an easy on/off mount on the bracket. I could modify the bracket to lock, but for now, I think it's easier to take the TV down when we travel.
Here is the mount: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VKCIJU/ref=oh_details_o02_s02_i00
