RE: WW Repairs
Mine already has 3/16 box tube on the tongue. But with all the stress it has on it especially with the e/h bars on it a little more couldnt hurt. I wish they would have made the tongue actually part of the frame and not just welded in. It sure looks as though it could be attached a little better.

RE: WW Repairs
I got one.
And it told me what I had already figured out.
I have a fk2100 and I haven't had a problem and I am glad to see that there have been no posts with others having any either.
I am tying to get the "prophylatic" fix done on mine though. I also received the letter about the lighting not meeting safety requirements also. I am waiting on getting that fixed till I can find out if my local dealer can do it all. I wont have it shipped half way across the country just to get the tongue reinforced.

RE: new tires
Thanks Guys
I would like to run a larger tire with the E rating. The wheel well looks pretty tight. I'll have to do some measuring to see just how big I can go. I know right now pulling off the tire it has to push out the fender flare to get it out.
This has to be part of WW tire problems. They put a tire on a 7000lb trailer that to me is only good for a small trailer at most. I know they are C rated But I think they are just too small.

new tires
I am already needing new tires for my 06 WW Fk2100.
I am having trouble finding anything decent in the original size of 205/75r15. I wanted a tire a bit better than original in load capacity.
There just doesnt seem to be anything else available in this size besides the junk that it came with. For what it seems trailer tires are going to cost I would expect them to last more than 2 years.
what are some of you using out there ?

RE: WW Repairs
Rineholio - Sorry to hear about your problems but I dont understand how your axle weights are different. Are each of your axles mounted independently to the frame?
The leaf springs on mine are connected in the middle with a pivot. I havent weighed each axle independently but I think with this setup the axles should be weighted the same even if the trailer is tilted some.
Our Boy Scout trailer had the torsion type axles mounted independently to the frame and also had 4 wheel brakes. It was very critical on it to have the trailer level. You really noticed a problem if it wasnt when you used the brakes. If you had the brakes set to where they would help stop ya and the trailer wasnt level the light axle would lock up very easy. I wouldnt own another trailer with tandem torsion axles again.

RE: WW Repairs
My trailer weighs 7000 with 2 atv's loaded. I have about 750lbs. tongue weight. Seems about right to me. But if it was filled with water I would be over the GVWR
My trailer is a FK2100.

RE: WW Repairs
If I lived near the manufacturer I would probably take it to them for the repair but I ain't going to ship it. The chances for more damage in shipping is too great great just for them to do a little welding on the tongue.

RE: WW Repairs
Thanks Brocoli1!
So basically the prophylactic fix is just a reinforcement of the tongue\A-frame.
I could do this myself easy enough.
I have a question about exhibit D where they are listing the weights. They show you a GVWR and hitch weight and then they show a "specified GVWR and hitch weight" which has a higher hitch weight. what and why is this? My hitch weight is very close to the lower number and WAY under the specified number.
Since I don't have any damage and I will probably do the tongue repair myself what is everybodies opinion on what I should do regarding this suit?

RE: WW Repairs
Hi every one,
I am new to this site But I received papers on this WW lawsuit also.
I own a 06 FK2100 and I havent had any problems. Mine is one of the superlite models though and is supposed to be covered by this suit. It doesnt specifically list the FK models but says all superlite models. I am wondering what the prophylactic fix is? I dont reall want to ship mine half way across the country to get this installed if it something I can do myself. I have weighed mine and the weights dont seem to be more than I expected. SOme of your posts said see page 64 or something
for a drawing of the fix but the paperwork I received doesnt go past Pg.8. I there something elst I havent received? If there is a drawing of the fix could someone post a pic of it here or send it to me?
I have just been wondering what I should do regarding the suit and also what to do to prevent any future problems.
I havent found anywhere on the net of anyone having any such problems with a FK model or many problems with any WW trailers until I found this site. Everybody has some problems. I am glad I found your site though. I'll be keeping an eye on it.
BTW - My trailer is usually loaded with 2 Polaris sportsman ATV's!
