2016 North Point Leaf Spring Problem
We have a 2016 North Point 341RLTS, 40'. Bought it last September. We just took it on our 8th trip. Try to make a long story short.
Coming home yesterday the 5th wheel didn't seem to be pulling straight, stopped looked and all seem ok. Closer to home the back of RV seem to be on yellow line as truck was couple feet away. Pulled into mall parking lot and noticed driver side tires were not aligned. Closer look, had about 8" space between tires and passenger side had a couple inches.
Anyway, noticed driver side rear axle had slipped and moved back about 7". The leaf spring pin was gone, also noticed there was only 5 leafs instead the 6.
Got it home and will install new leaf spring tomorrow.
Please,Please check you axle U bolts for tightness and make sure springs are good and all in place.
Our last 5th wheel also had leaf spring problems but the two rear leaf springs broke at the same time while traveling. Yes, not a good situation.
