trailer axles

Hi, I have a 2011 keystone summerland. I have noticed that when I go around curves like a coldest that the front and rear axles are not aligned. They have a different camber. But after driving in a straight line they shore back up. There is no irregular wear on the tires. Is this what they mean by floating axles?

Thanks bill

    Normal, The tires are taking different tracks and working against each other. Once you straighten up, they fall inline and continue one. Perfectly normal.

    All is normal for a trailer with the wheels towards the center of the trailer.

    By floating axle means the axles have a equalizer bar that allows multi axle to step or some call it float over a obstacle vs a hay trailer with no equalizer bar.

    Tires will side scrub as your trailer tires did with either design
