When I went to a camp that did not have WIFI I bought a Verizon phone , a Moto G4 ??, that had hot spot capability and bought the plan that worked for me, I think it was unlimited with 30 GB of data. Good for email and banking not streaming HD movies. Cost about $50.00 a month and the phone was about $70.00 and worked for two seasons. I did have an AT&T iPhone but Verizon was the only service that worked in my location. So the things to think about are what service works where you are going and is there a cheap phone or device to buy that will work read the fine print. Oh the Verizon plan was Pre-Pay so when done no more payments and not locked into a contract.

- "We noticed the tire wear problem like you noted and that was when Lippert was having to replace a lot of axles"
Check and see if you have Sealed Bearing Axles from Lippert?
Those worthless axles should have been recalled.
Lippert was no help and all they wanted to do was sell me new axles.
I now have Dexter axles and Dexter will work with you and they have parts and they know what they are doing. Vulcaneer wrote:

I got a real alignment done on my trailer and my tire wear is perfect..Vulcaneer wrote:

OK...So the OP should do nothing. The "expert" says your wear is normal. Your tire dealer will love you.
You know what my advise is. I stand by my recommendation. Get your alignment checked. If you do, please come back and tell us what the finding is. Then we'll all know what is right.

I just edited my op. I had left off part of a sentence. Maybe it makes more sense now.Most of the weight of the slides is on the port side, or off door side. My tires are wearing on the starboard or door side which is the lighter side of the trailer. My thought was that if both sides of the axle had equal amounts of camber unloaded then loaded the two sides would wear differently. Therefore the port side is wearing perfectly but the starboard is wearing the outside edges of the tire. The camber should have been different on each side of trailer but that is apparently not how it was set up.
On my RV I noticed the wear on outside of the tires and I increased the air pressure and it slowed down quite a bit. The other side was wearing also, but it was much slower. When I got to the end of the tires life I could definitely see the condition. I haven’t found a way to measure the individual axle weights yet. The pads that the race teams use are too low of capacity to use on RV’s The takeaway for me will be "rotate the tires yearly"
I did the frame alignment check from Lippert and everything lined up. The check was easy with two people. Take your measurements, then have your helper switch ends and compare the data.

Think about the axle capacity and the camber. Then think about the trailer weight distribution. The trailer will be heavier on kitchen side. More weight on an axle that has a camber. The total weight is not enough to elminate the camber.MM49 wrote:

I heartily DIS-AGREE. That wear is NOT normal. Even wear on all tires is normal. Uneven wear is never normal.
As B.O. indicates, look up a good heavy vehicle and trailer alignment shop. They will be able to find the root cause, and correct it with the minimum cost to you. And you will save that money in less tire wear.
And do stay away from RV shops. Again B.O. is correct. They will sell you a new axle. And the labor to install it. But still will not be able to align it properly. Most of them simply do not have the equipment to make accurate alignments.
The trailer axles are cambered with bend. The tires will not wear evenly until they are loaded near the maximum. Then the axles will be straight then. Outside tire wear on a trailer that is not heavy loaded is normal.

I do not understand your logic. Since I doubt the OP is towing for so many miles with a very lightly loaded trailer. And especially since he is worried that weight distribution might be his problem. So he must have some weight in the trailer somewhere. And if, as he says, heavy on the door side, his tires would be wearing on the inside, not the outside.
