TT tires look askew!

I'm looking at a 2019 Keystone Bullet 243BHS TT and the tires look askew. Not sure if this trailer has torsion axles? I took a couple pics but not sure you can see the issue. The tires on the curb side are not at the same angle/on the same plane/one tire leans more than the other/not sure how to describe! What could this be? It was parked in a somewhat tight spot, so not sure if they are just torqued and would straighten out? Or if it's something more severe. I didn't get a good look at the other side but the axles underneath the trailer looked OK....camber looked about right, etc. Any thoughts or input would be appreciated. Should I keep this TT on my list of possibles or just pass on it and keep looking?

Not sure why the photos won't load correctly? Right click and open in new tab works....

  • I agree with the above post. ^^^. This happens very easily on pavement. Not so much on sand or grass as the tires can slide easily.
    Here is your picture.



    If you will follow these directions exactly, it is very easy to post pictures on our forums. One of our moderators, 1492, developed this photo posting app to post your pictures. It works for other internet sites also. There is no need to have a separate hosting site for your pictures in order to use it.

    It is very simple to use.
    1. Upload your picture from your computer to the app.
    2. Copy the resulting URL.
    3. Paste that URL into your post

    . No additions or deletions.
    Your picture will then appear in your post and be properly sized for use on our forums.:)

    I have posted a test thread here for members to try out the app and see how it works. That thread is ONLY for testing however and not for comments on pictures. Good luck.

  • Ask them to pull the trailer the forward a little. That should let them settle out. It is normal for TT axles to flex as the tires scrub in tight turns. But definitely make sure that's all it is before signing any paperwork.

    BTW - most dealers use forklifts to move units around, so the units tend to get turned a lot tighter than they would when being towed.

    Maybe the tow vehicle was slightly turning when they parked the camper? That can make the wheels look "bent" sometimes... or askew.
  • I don't see anything wrong, but at the distance and angle, it's really hard to determine much.
