| Description of the problem | I have a cedar creek 5th wheel camper. When i returned home from a trip i noticed all the wheels were tilted inward and the tires were worn to the steel core inside. I checked with the manufacturer and he said there were no recalls. I found another person on the internet with the same exact axle failures and replaced them. I believe a check of company records will find many cases of owners of this type of unit having replaced these axles at their own expense. This is a very important safety issue that should be addressed asap. I have been a mechanic for 43 years and never saw axles fail like this. |
