Just thought I'd suggest to people to check the torque on their axle u-bolts. On my previous 5th wheel I had to change the axles and was surprised how relatively loose the u-bolts were. A little bit of forum searching at the time showed that loose axle u-bolts were not uncommon. So I check mine whenever I do the bearings. This past week I checked the u-bolts on my 2021 303RLS. The front axle was fine, the rear needed tightening. So I think yearly is probably a good idea.
FYI Dexter 5200# axles.
Recommended 9/16 ubolt torque range 65-90 ft/lbs in the Dexter manual.
Recommended 1/2 ubolt torque range 45-70 ft/lbs in the Dexter manual.
