While towing the trailer I found that it kept pulling to the right several times pulling off the roadway onto the emergency lane. The trailer was vissably showing in the mirrors as not pulling straight. This was also verified by my wife as she followed. I hand measured the frame and axle position verifying the frane was square but the axles were install 3 inches off. Speaking with the mgf. Spokesperson he said this happens all the time. He suggested the axels to be cut off and reinstalled. I dont feel this is a safe fix to apply excessive heat to the metal frame. Not knowig how the steel may become soft or brittle.i have expressed my opinion and requested a new unit without defective installed axles. I feel this created a hazard to myself and others traveling our roadways. Especially since I was told this is not an isolated deffect
