- Spindle on Lippert axle. Within 160 miles of a brand-new camper, it chewed through two tires on the outer edge. If it was not noticed there easily would have been a blow out on the tires. It would be available for inspection. - Traveling down highways and roadways a tire blowout or spindle detaching would create a sever safety hazard for all parties on the roadway. - Camper was delivered to dealership after dealership swapped 1 of the tires and forced me to bring it. It was inspected by the dealership and found no impact of customer fault but the axle spindle is 1 inch out of alignment due to manufacturing fault. Manufacture has denied the claim twice. - Campers first tire was found severely worn on the outside edge. I replaced the tire with the spare and it was found to have the same issue on the tire withing 160 miles.
