Fuzion axle seal replacement
I'm planning on greasing the bearings on my '17 Fuzion 369. It has the Dexter 290803 7K axles, but I'm getting lost on trying to find the correct seals. Help, please.

Have you tried contacting Dexter directly? I've heard them to be very good at assisting over the phone, although I've not yet needed to call them.

The pic shows the seals I’m currently using made by WPS... pulled all four hubs back off after a 1K mile trip just to see how grease seals were doing... no issues at all and reinstalled hubs..

I'm going to be as diplomatic as possible with this statement. I'm not intending to cause any ridicule, just address the glaring facts:
OP, you list in your signature, the following:
RV Model
Fuzion 369
RV Model Year
2017
Tow Vehicle
2013 F250 Crew 4X4, 7500# Air Lift Bags, Titan 50gal fuel tank
Hitch info
B&W Companion 20K Slider
That truck, with a 6.2l gas engine has a payload around 3000 pounds, with a 6.7l diesel, has a payload around 2000 pounds. With the B&W companion hitch (281), the Titan 50 gal fuel tank (450), hitching a 39', 17,000 pound fifth wheel with a "dry pin weight of 3120 pounds" and a "real world pin weight" somewhere around 3500-4300 pounds, you're close to 2x your payload and very likely over your rear axle capacity as well as approaching your "LRE tire max capacity"....
No need to answer and I'm not trying to "start something", but I'd urge you to find a CAT scale and weigh your rig, then make some "conscious decisions based on the reality of what the weight ticket reveals".... Good Luck !!!!!

I appreciate your warranted warning. In Submarines, this was being a brother. Over the summer, through this forum I learned about weights and limits, something I wish I knew years ago. I also came up with pretty much the same numbers + the bikes, 60 gal of gas, etc... So, on Tuesday I rectified the problem. I ditched the F250 for a 2021 Ram, now on order being built per the attached build sheet. The truck will be almost identical to member JJaxon's new truck.

E trailer has most everything for lippert frames . I believe all lippert 7k axels use the same seal an bearings for Keystone campers .

Nice to read that there are folks heeding the weight advice/warnings given here rather than arguing for 10 pages that their truck is within it's published max tow weight.
Be sure to post pictures of the new beast when it arrives!

The reason I went with the big screen is that is necessary for their Navigation. I learned that the hard way with my 19` 3500. It really is a useful add on. Big tanks is a must. I like your idea of adding a brat seat in the bed, for any loud ones. ( :
I added Amp retractable side step, I may eventually get their rear retractable corner step. Installed the window tint, roll up tonneau cover, vent visors, mud flaps, spray in bed liner, and aux tank. Haven't thought of seat covers bc the seats have heating - cooling in the Laramie trim, and it work well.
I even hand waxed this big blue truck once. I'm done fore this year.
Sounds like you are about set up too.

Update on the Ram order
Well, it's finally built, but it's left the factory for a body vendor. The sheet doesn't say why, but apparently this is normal. I'm wondering if it's for the bed liner or possibly a problem with the body paint. I've heard that they have problems with the orange peel finish.
Hurry up and wait!

Is that your router password on that masking tape? You may want to block that out on your picture.

No, that's not mine. It's a screen shot from someone else, far far away. I noticed that too. First thought was hmmmm, remember all of those security traininggs....
I'll edit it out. Thanks

My maiden short tow.
Took the 369 for a 20 mile trip around the CT back roads to try out the new ram 6.7 HO. Damn, what a beast! I love hearing that engine brake working. Finally, I know it's sagging, it has the OEM bags. It's in alternate tow mode to drop the hitch an inch. In full auto it's level. The camper was nose up and I wanted to try this mode out. I'm at 7 inches between the bed and camper and the hitch is at lowest setting. I really don't want to move the camper hitch up.
