That bolt/nut that we see in your pictures is supposed to clamp the axles in place, but doesn't have nearly enough clamping force to do the job.
Check at the front of the axle mounts, where they rest us against the camper frame. If there is any gap there, they have slipped.
I was going to say it doesn't look like the axles have dropped. They look more like they have slid out of alignment. Might get lucky with a local shop to get things re aligned.

So you want a picture from the front of the tires underneath instead of straight on, right?

Yes, on the axle ends in question.
Where the axle mounts, at the ends of the tubes, fit up against the camper frame. If they have slipped, there will be a gap there.
Check to see if the good ones are tight up against the frame, or are different than the bad ones.
Mine had slipped just during the trip from the factory to my dealer.

Was unable to get a good picture of the area you wanted and she's now ready to go on a flatbed and get towed to an axle repair shop. I will update when we have a diagnosis. Thank you everyone for all your help!
