Your trailer isn't all that old but it seems you put some miles on it. It has been my experience that when the suspension gets sloppy from worn bushings the tires get some funny wear like you are experiencing. If you have those cheap nylon bushings, they will not last a couple of seasons. If you get a lot of popping and cracking while backing and turning, that is a good indicator. Replace those plastic bushing with something bronze and the hangers with heavy duty ones. Dexter has heavy duty kits and they aren't overly expensive. There are kits available for the Moryde as well.
As far as alignments go, you need to have the suspension system in good shape before you attempt an alignment. Most RV dealers etc. are not equipped to handle such a task. You need to find a Truck Trailer place. As in Semi Truck. You'll feel like and will be a light weight but they will do ya. Not overly expensive either.
I think you will find that rebuilding your suspension will cure most of your problems. If you are really handy, you can do it yourself.
