2016 Flagstaff Micro Lite WFLT23LB

Hi.
#1. Where is the best place to get replacement parts?? I have a couple of broken outlet I'd like to replace.
#2. What does the WFLT stand for in my model number?
#3. My camper is a 2016 it turns out but it has the 2015 axles in it which seem to be lighter and carry a bit less load. Why would Forest River do that? The seller listed the RV as a 2015 and the GVW of 4830 matched that. But then I saw the registration said 2016 bought in 2015. The VIN says it's a 2016. I contacted Forest River and the answer seems to be the axles why the GVW is less than what a 2016 says it will carry. But everything else is 2016. I bought it for $16,000 and NADA says a 2016 with the options it has is worth $21,000. I'm pretty stoked.

try amazon or home depot for electrical parts. The date on the equipment mean nothing the date on your registration determines the date of the rig. What do you mean axles are lighter and carry less load? less load then what? the axles do not carry all the load some is carried by the tow vehicle via the tongue.

The 2015 has a gross weight of 4830 lbs. The axles are rated at 2200 pounds each.
The 2016 has a gross weight of 5237 lbs. The axles are rated at 3000 pounds each.
The reason I noticed the discrepancy is because the seller listed the camper as a 2015. But when I saw the registration it said it was a 2016. the sticker on the side of the camper said the gross weight was 4830. And since now I’m looking at the specs for both model years I noticed that the gross weight is that of a 2015 per the sticker but the trailer is actually a 2016 model. So the guy in customer service at Forest River said he thought they had put 2015 axles on it which were lighter and carried less load. Everything else on the camper is 2016. The VIN number shows it to be a 2016.
I keep thinking I should take it and get it weighed because right now it’s pretty close to empty and if it weighs 3834 pounds and not 3275 pounds it would tell me something. Perhaps the giross weight sticker on the camper that says 4830 is incorrect. Maybe it is a 2016 and maybe it does have the 2016 axles in it and maybe it does weigh 3834 pounds empty that would prove that the sticker is wrong.

axles

Hi. It does not have 2200lb axles under it, it has 3,000lb axles. Dexter. It is a 2016 all around. The sticker is wrong.
