Tires wearing faster on inside edges even though just under GAWR. Replaced OEM 3500# axles with 5000# axles and now get more even tire wear.
Forgot to tighten lug nuts after greasing wheel bearings on one side. After wheel came off (fortunately doing only 25mph in town), had to replace drum studs, both alum. wheels (stud holes enlarged), and part of the trim. $1400 lesson, and now check all wheel lugnuts before trailer leaves its RVport!
DW has a 50 item check list before I'm allowed to leave camp, and she often finds something not done.
