The rear spring hanger brackets broke, which lets the axels wobble and can cause the camper to loose control. We noticed this at campgrounds and had to have them replaced with new thicker brackets. Driver's side was in july passenger side was in september. Original brackets are 3/16" thick metal, replacement brackets are 1/4" thick metal. The failure is bending fatigue as some of the beach marks are oxidized and some are not.
