After crossing the On Top of the World Highway and making stops at Tok, Fairbanks, Denali, and Anchorage I took a look at my tires and saw that all four tires were wearing unevenly: outside two tires on the driver's side and on the inside of the two tires on the passenger side. It looks like the axles have become out of alignment. I don't recall hitting any big pots holes and I don't travel that fast on these highways up here because of the road conditions. Air pressure has been what the manufacturer calls for, 110 psi. My question: has anyone else had an issue with this and what did you do about it? I have an appointment Monday to see a frame/suspension provider in Anchorage to see what really happened. Also have been told that 5th wheels can not have their wheels aligned like a car because of the way the wheels and suspension are set in place. Also sent an email to Heartland about the issue but have not heard back from them. Our rig is a Bighorn, 2011, model 3670. Any thoughts would be of great help. Thanks.
I had a friend who a year ago had tis happen on a Keystone 5th wheel.
The axles had lost their bow and had to be replaced.
He paid the labor and Keystone provided the new axles.
Good luck and safe travels.
