Hey Guys/Gals

Took delivery of my baby this week.

There were a few issues right away..... When we ordered this unit back in Feb we had the Loft with the Storage cabinets. When we did the PDI those cabinets were nowhere to be found.... Like really? Apparently the Factory does deletes without informing anyone.

So at that point I bluntly told our sales guy that if those weren't there for next week when I'm going to sign the paperwork for it that I would be walking away from the unit.

Other than that the unit was beautiful. A couple of questions for people.

- On the front driver side door (Where you front jack is located) Has anyone done anything cool with that space?

- What do you use to seal up the underside to prevent mice from getting in there?

Oh Here's a Pic of me hooked up (Taking it to the truck scales)

Awesome. Love my Bertha. I think that the space near the jack that you are talking about ours has a gas tank in it.

Don't blame you for the cabinet thing. I made them add doors to my cabinet in the garage storage is the key in my book

We have the XLR Viper but we also have this cool space. My husband lined the bottom with a piece of wood. We store our sewer hose in this area. Love our Viper!!

I have two milk crates stacked on top of each other. They fit perfect. I store my sewer hose in garbage bags in the milk crate along with other odds and ends.

Axle issues

We have a 2014 XLR Thunderbolt 395 Amp and like you love our rig but are really upset with the axle and weight misguiding issues. After reading your terrible story of your trip in NH I wanted to share our story and find out how you resolved it. We live in NY and travelled down to Fl to visit some colleges with my son the summer of 2016. On the way down in a gas station I noticed that my tires were wearing bald and that it looked like my rear axle was bent. The trip ended up being a nightmare and we have not truly enjoyed our trailer since. There is way too much to write but in summary basically we have gone through purchasing 7 new tires, had 2 bent axles and finally had my 3 6,000lb axles replaced for 3 7,000lb axles. Even after all of this thinking the dealer had solved the problem, I just took the trailer down to Fla again to find that my rear tire was wearing bald again and that my axle was bent. The sticker on my trailer says the dry weight is 15,233 and my GVW is 18,000lbs. It also states the tires are ST235/80R16E and the inflation on the label says 95psi which is impossible since that is an E rated tire because the max is 80psi. All the new trailers have approx. my same dry weight and are all set up with 21k. FR told our dealer that because the axles bent (or it was noticed) after 12mos (we had only done short trips before this) that there was nothing they could do because we were out of warranty. Anyone with any information that could help us resolve this information would greatly be appreciated.
