Frame & Axle Brands

[MtnGuy]

I got under my SV 263 yesterday to check what kind of axle that I have in preparation for wheel bearing lubrication. It seems like a lot of the Forest River products come with the Al-Ko torsion axles, and thought I would have the same.......not. My torsion axle is manufactured by Lippert Components Inc......and I thought they just made frames and slides. Besides that, my frame was manufactured by Dexter.....which is known for axles. Geez.

So, it seems that I have Lippert axles on a Dexter frame. Everything seems to work great, but this discovery was a surprise to me. Just wondering what setup other Surveyor and Forest River owners have on their rigs.

I would think it would be the other way around. Dexter axles and LCI frame.

Don't know about the frame but have Al-Ko torsion on our 235.

Bob, that is weird that we both have Surveyors about the same size, and have different axles. Are yours 3500 Lbs. each ??

I found the Dexter frame information on the inside of the port side tongue frame up near the coupler.
