White Hawk Owners - Might Want to Check

Just wanted to share some info I found out today. My DW and I owned a 2019 White Hawk 28 RL. We enjoyed the TT for several seasons, but recently upgraded to an Eagle 5th wheel.

I had to go by my rv dealership to pick up some expensive, but hard to find, rv antifreeze and stopped by to talk with my salesman. He shared with me that they had found one of the leaf spring bracket weld broken free from th frame. Based on the rust along the break, he felt if had been broken for some time. We typically make some pretty long hauls and chances are we had made several of these trips with a broken leaf spring bracket.

I believe I have read other posts that referenced this same issue, but to be certain I wanted to share just in case you might want to check your White Hawk.

I feel we were fortunate that we did not have a major issue far from home that could have resulted in something worse.

Lesson learned for me, check things out before each trip.

Safe travels all.

Thanks for the info. I have a 2020 White Hawk 27rb and both rears broke on me after a trip from Dallas to L.A. Luckily found before heading back home and extended warranty paid for repairs. I unfortunately had to make an extra round trip to pick up the trailer.

Note: Buy your rv antifreeze off season next year, it's dirt cheap then.
