Tire wear & Trailer Alignment issues
Last couple of days I've been reading through a number of posts on TT axle alignment. Some by Senior members of rv.net. Especially a couple of posts by JBarca and his experience of working to the b...

Ok, I gave it up on that idea and started running all my tires TV, TH at max sidewall pressures so the jury is still out on that one for me. Would love to take a poll and see what the crowd thinks Or see some concrete before and after pictures/stories. Crowd mentality, that's a good thing isn't.
I run max air pressure on trailer tires. They wear fine. Toyhaulers are interesting in that the manufacturer makes them heavy in the front to handle the toy's weights in the back. This means that the front axle and often the tongue will be much heavier empty than when the toy hauler is loaded with toys. I would move the propane tanks back to the front and work with ProPride in a solution for that and quit trying to get your axle weights equal. Load the hauler for camping and see what the numbers look like and don't worry about how they equate towing empty. You want at least 10 percent of the hauler's total loaded weight on the tongue; 13 percent is better to combat sway.
Measure your axles carefully for alignment and carry full pressure on the tires and then fully loaded try out the handling and watch the tire wear. Drive forward some distance before measuring axles to get any bind out of the system. Or you will not get accurate measurements.
