Suspension · reported Aug 27, 2015
After delivery of our new "travel" trailer we noticed the wheel assembly (Tires and rims) are under rated for the data plate on the trailer. The axel is also under rated for a unit this size. Wheel clearance in the wheel well is also marginal. The tires and rims are rated for an automobile not a "travel" trailer. Dealer said not to worry about it, and the manufacture has no comment. We are hesitant to actually travel on the highways with the original equipment because there may be early component failure.
