Question:
Which leaf spring is needed for 2001 Fleetwood Mallard 26H travel trailer tandem axle?

Expert Reply:
The 2001 Fleetwood Mallard 26H travel trailer has a specified weight of 5690-lbs so it is likely to have two 3500-lb-rated axles. You can confirm this axle rating by checking the sticker or plate on the axle tube itself, or it could be included in your owner documentation. The available online data did not include axle capacity for your specific trailer but similar models have this axle capacity.
Leaf springs for 3500-lb axles appear on the linked page. These are offered in several lengths. You will need to remove one of your existing leaf springs to measures its eye-to-eye length in order to select the correct replacement. You cannot get a correct measurement with the spring still installed on the trailer.
Please note that springs tend to flatten out and elongate after years of use so a brand new spring like # e54SR that is 25-1/8-inches may become 25-3/4-inches after years of service. Keep this in mind as you measure and select your four replacement springs since the correct new springs may actually measure a bit shorter than the one you remove.
Leaf springs should always be replaced in pairs to ensure the trailer tracks straight down the road. If all four springs are original to the 2001 trailer I would replace all of them.
