Description of the problem	I purchased a 2013 forest river 356 saq in august of 2012. I used it during the rest of that season. Come to find out forest river only put 6 thousand pound axles under a 40+ foot camper. In the spring i pulled it to a cat scale and weighed the unit. My very unloaded camper rear axle weight was 11,500 lbs. This poses a safety issue because it would be very easy to over load and not even know. If i were to fill my fresh water tank this would surely put me very close to the axle weight ratings and over once i load my unit with all the things we need for a family of 4 to go camping. In the later 2013 models forest river came out with the option of 7 thousand pound axles. This leads me to believe that there is a problem. I contacted forest river sierra division via e-mail any they said if i would tow my unit from maine to indiana (on marginal at best axles) and they would do the work for $2500.
