Section 4. Suspension system
Suspension system overview
The GO camping trailer suspension consists of the torsion axle with self-lubricating bearing
protectors, custom alloy wheels, high-otation tires and a spare tire/wheel mounted under
the deck (except on GO base package).
Tires and wheels
The GO camping trailer uses 20.5x8.0-10 (205-65-10) bias-ply high otation tires and an
aluminum alloy wheel with a ve-bolt pattern. To mount a wheel, push the wheel on the hub
and using your socket wrench, tighten the wheel nuts just enough to hold the wheel snugly.
Work in a criss cross pattern, tightening the nut that is almost directly opposite from the nut
that you just tightened (see diagram below). This will ensure that the stress is applied to the
wheel evenly as the or bolts are tightened. Then fully torque lug nuts, using the same pattern,
to 75 ft.-lb. torque. Proper ination should be maintained. (See the VIN label on tongue for
proper ination.) Check tire wear occasionally to avoid getting a at. Wheels are secured
using 1/2” - 20 thread lug-nuts.
Spare tire
The GO camping trailer is equipped with a spare tire mounted under the deck in the rear
(except on GO base package). To remove the spare tire, undo the two retention bolts and
remove from mounting bracket. Remove the at tire/wheel and replace with spare. Although
the spare is a normal, high-speed trailer tire and wheel assembly, it is not recommended to
travel far with the spare tire. Repair the tire and replace the spare as quickly as possible.
Torsion axle
The GO camping trailer comes equipped with a sophisticated torsion axle system. A smoother
ride, independent wheel suspension, less impact on components and cargo are all advantages
to this suspension system. The GO camping trailer torsion axle requires no maintenance other
than lubrication through the self-lubricating wheel bearings.
Note: Be sure to repack and seal bearings every 10,000 - 12,000 miles.
