Stressed out here..........the truck shop I took my trailer to Monday hasn't looked at my trailer yet, they say they have been "really busy", even though they have said "definitely by tomorrow twice" this week....ugh This is the only place in my area who say they can do axle alignments..........if they can't, my trip is screwed. ugh.............

Traded the trailer in for one i liked better, the dealer is getting it fixed now, still under warranty........likely an axle / alignment issue.

I had the very same tires with same wear pattern you showed. I measured all the frame and axle points myself, using the chart and directions I got from Lippert. One side of one axle was about 1/4 inch further back than the other. Not square to frame. Hangers were welded on in wrong location. Dealer gave a big run around about fixing it

sounds like the very same situation to me Mine was also under warranty, only had it 11 months. Weather or not they fixed it, don't know, but doubt it. I'm sure this issue was passed on to someone, now out of warranty that will have to spend big $$$ out of pocked to fix it .

pretty sad commentary on trailer manufacture. only used the trailer for 6 weeks, 1700 miles........bought it while in florida last january......my dealer up here in mass, where i got my new trailer, is very honest, at least thats my impression.
in any event, headed to florida right after christmas meal with the family here,
