Bought a new 2019 209 this spring, converted it to lithium and solar and some other changes. Had some sag under the slide but have not found any water damage in the floor. I have two issues: the first being the slide having difficulty moving even though i have installed outriggers and the second is the trailer is far heavier than advertised and is over 3800 lbs w/o any water. I am towing with a diesel Canyon and am having to get a larger tv due to the RGVW is maxed out and the transmission is running too hot. Want to keep the trailer but am annoyed about all of the issues I have had to deal with. Has anyone upgraded to a larger capacity axle?

Hi Jim. I have tried to find out if the diesel automatically comes with the tow package and i believe it does. The trailer has an air conditioner, microwave, 2 20 lb propane tanks, lithium batteries, solar gear and some gear, food and clothing but they don’t come close to 1000 lbs. Even if they do, why put an axle underneath that barely handles the usual gear that goes into a trailer? I am betting that the vast majority of trailer owners have never weighed their trailers and tv’s and have no idea that they are overweight and probably don’t care.

I am now accepting the fact that the trailer is overweight and disappointed that the trucks transmission and the rear axle are maxed out. My question still stands, has anyone upgraded to a higher capacity axle and what did you get? Thanks
