Coachmen Trailer Leans Too One Side

Not surprised it is a little lower on the passenger side. That's where your kitchen and fridge are.

I'd really be interested in what you find out. I have the exact same trailer and when I put it in storage last fall I noticed the same thing. Looks like it leans slightly to the passenger side. Took a quick look at suspension to see if I has a broken leaf spring or not but couldn't see anything out of place.

I'm new here, but I have experience with something like this with an old R-Vision Trail lite. The floor on the driver's side of my old trailer became soft and was actually "sagging" around the frame on the outside edge. The trailer wasn't constructed very well and I actually became afraid it would fall apart while towing. I'm not sure how your trailer is constructed, but it might be something you want to look for. Good luck.

That was my initial thought but he says that there is only a 1/2" difference between the axle and frame on each side. If excessive weight on one side was causing compression on the leaf springs, should there not be more of a difference?

My Vibe has leaned to the drivers side ( the slide out side) since day one. I assume it’s due to slideout weight.

Shackle straps on the equalizer worn?

Water/waste tanks empty?

had same issue. Took to service they found a couple of the suspension shackles broken low side. U couldn't see it easy. Replaced and back to normal

Good deal. I'm glad you are all fixed up.

Trailer springs are inexpensive. Replace them.

One leaf might have broken.

Find a spring dealer in your area....take it to a professional!!!

Hold on, if the axle measurements are nearly identical and the tire to floor measurements are different that would point to a potential bearing failure on the low side. I would pull the hubs and check them.

I had the same issue. Spring sag. I had custom leaf springs built. Zero problems now.
