Question:
I have a 2000 Casita travel trailer with dexter torsion axle. Just wondering what the life expectancy of this axle would be.

Expert Reply:
There are to many variables that need to be considered for the life expectancy of a Dexter torsion axle.
My recommendation is to replace them sooner than later since you cannot check the condition of the rubber cores inside your torsion axle. The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System w Electric Brake Hubs # A35RS545E is a great replacement for your axle on your 2000 Casita travel trailer. This is a universal fit system that comes complete with electric brake drums and a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. It is rated for 3,500lbs and unlike your Dexter axle you can see the AEON progressive-rate main springs to determine their condition.
