Am in the same boat as those of you on this thread as our 2013 Shadow Cruiser 280QBS has 2200 miles and the same clearly visible inside wear problems. Have the same bad H118ST 14 inch tires too. Have taken the camper in to have the axles and tires addressed under warranty. Fingers crossed.
I've seen it mentioned to consider upgrading to Maxxis. Is this the one most are using/recommending? ST215/75/14 D rating (1870 lbs @ 50 psi)
What is the new model of the replacement axles being used and what size is found there? Is it another Lippert replacement?

Wish you the best, seems like several more are joining this club every week.
My 3500# axles were replaced with 5200# made by Lippert. I can tell you they look like tree trucks compared to the 3500# twigs. I used load C tires in the stock size, I didn't know if the upsize would work on the stock rim/clearance. Most of my travels are within 200 miles or less and load C still left me some room so I felt confortable. If I did long distance traveling I probably would have tried the up size.

Just want to update everyone, I have been in class but I will go pick up my trailer this Saturday. I will take the before and after shots of what was done to my trailer so u can use them as a reference with your respective dealerships. If u are in the Md area I highly recommend Leos vacation center. They have been nothing but great to my family from sales to service.

PanamaCamper, Did you get your Shadow Cruiser back yet? Can you tell me how the warranty work went?

CarolinaHokie,
How did your slide problem get resolved? And how far did you drive on those tires? I'm getting a little worried. And was anything said about your axles?
Thanks,
Carrie

Yes I did get my unit back. I'm getting ready for work but I will post pics this evening. The dealership did everything. It all fell under warentee and you can clearly see the axles I have now are twice as thick and round. I also now have Carlisle tires all the way around. Are you still fighting with your issue?

hi Carrie, Will post as soon as I get some resolution. Trying to stay calm. Just keep checking your tires for bald patches. Don't drive too far from home, lol.
Panama, can you tell me exactly which tires you got. Model/make. How much did Cruiser authorize for tire replacement>? Did you pay extra to upgrade? Exactly how did you convince them it was an axle issue? Were the axles visibly bent?

I had the exact thing happen on my 280, lippert and cruiser took care of it, including new tires. One thing I noticed on that trailer is I think they're over rating the cargo on it.
The axles were defective, or the hub/axle connection. If you look at some of my posts, you can see some of what I went through. We did a 4800 mile trip and that was the first set of tires. Once the new axles were one, I was more or less good to go.

KD, I have read many of those posts. Almost made me wish I could have boughts your "better than new!" 280. You weren't kidding! Whose warranty provided the tires (cruiser?) and whose warranty provided the axles (Lippert)?

Cruiser took care of the tires, and I'm not sure if they sent the bill to Lippert or not. Lippert took care of the axles (I dealt with them directly and Cruiser.)
Cruiser has been really good to me about service, and even with the axle issue, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
