What owners report
Brakes and cracks found in the frame (I-beams on both sides) of my 2018 Jayco Eagle HT 5th wheel camper model 27.5 rlts. They were discovered by the service department at Blue Compass RV, Danville, Va. Insurance company inspected, declined the claim. The unit is unsafe to tow as further damage may occur and it sways badly when towed. Claims have been filed with Jayco and Lippert (frame mfg.) with both being denied. I have more photos of the damage, and correspondence with Jayco and Lippert if you find them relavant I'll gladly forward them to you. Note: The incident date listed is the date the damage was discovered.
I was troubleshooting a short in the electrical trailer brake circuit and found the cause: the wire had fallen into a crack in the frame crossmember which was chewing on it. Upon further examination, several frame stiffeners/crossmembers had cracked almost entirely through on both sides of the trailer. They cracked because during manufacturing, some goober decided it'd be a good idea to cut 95% of the web of the C-channel away to make holes 10x as large as they needed to be to run wires and slide motors. According to the original owner, he took it from IN to FL twice and I put about 3k miles on it according to my records so it only has maybe 10k miles. Looking at the amount of rust and condi

The vehicle is a Fifth Wheel RV. Jayco Eagle HT 27.5 2018. The frame cracked, welds broke suspension/springs/equalizers where all compromised and the unit started swaying dangerously on the Interstate. Thankfully we managed to get off the highway without the unit falling over and causing catastrophic damage to us or those around us. The speed limit on the section of the highway is 80 miles an hour. Every semi that passed us almost pushed the rig over. An RV dealership in Salt Lake City still has our rig and have now finished the repairs. The Frame Manufacturer, Lippert have done most of the repairs and the dealership the rest. The rig was inspected and photographed and we have a repair rep
I am a ASE Master Mechanic and I do my own servicing. Recently I had some bad tires and bought new ones. Since I had the wheels off, I performed a wheel bearing and brake inspection. The rear left wheel had some small wobbling. When I took off the bearing cap I noticed hardly any grease. I took the hub off and there was hardly any grease on the inside bearing also. And I do mean hardly. It was like someone used a ½ teaspoon of grease for the 2 bearings. The outside bearing was so loose it almost fell apart in my hand. Upon further inspection I noticed the outside bearing and axel shaft showed some heat stress and the bearing race was loose. I changed the bearing and race. Repacked with grea
