    My rig has Dexter axles so this doesn't apply to me right?

    I did my first annual bearing and brake maintenance today. In fact, I replaced the bearings, races and seals with Timken components. It's important to note that the replacement seals LCI provided last year did not allow any grease to enter the brake chamber.

    Jim, you listed all the bearing numbers for our drums before, but can you provide the Timken seal number? I’m ready to do th same.

    No you should be o.k. It was a problem on Lippert axles.

    Mine failed, but I can't take part in the poll.

    I will say that Grand Design was awesome in getting it resolved, so I have no complaints!

    A couple weeks before we were scheduled for our delivery (9/17) I stopped by the dealership to take some measurements. Imagine my surprise to find my 297rsts up on stands with all the wheels off. The technician said they were responding to a notice from GD and were cleaning and greasing all bearings with the proper grease. 2500 miles and no problems so far.

    @DaveMathewsBand - The grease seal concern discussed here is in regards only to the Lippert axles. I am not aware of any concerns of this nature with the Dexter axles.

    I had issues with the 2017 27RL. Had all work done still under warranty.
