Not sure about posters that do not know axles come with a upward bend in them. Assuming it's the outside of the left tire and inside of the right I'd check that the two axles are parallel.
Bikes on the back should not affect handling or tire wear.
Wow maybe I am not a real camper either, not sure how I or anyone is to know axles come bent.
I stand by my thought that the axles are under sized.
Thanks for the helpful suggestions. It is so nice to know that manufacturers aren't overbuilding their campers isn't it?
Like JJ says though, I think it is easy to underestimate how much dynamic load is placed by something like a 150 rack and bikes bouncing and swaying on the running gear. Throw borderline axles into the mix and then things get even hairier.
For now, I have just rotated the tires front to back (and greased the axles while there). I will keep my spare tire close at hand and my eyes on those worn edges for now and see if the problem recurs on the newly rotated ones. I will also take it to a shop nearby to be looked at.
