Travel Trailer Wheel Allignment Question
Just wondering... Do any of you folks have your TT wheels aligned... much like you would with a car/truck front end alignment? I just figured you would watch the tires for uneven wear, which hasn't...

I had to have it done on a Heartland TT with Lippert axles. A specialized shop did it. $190.00 total. They hook up chains and a hydraulic jack and bend the axles back to straight.
Here's how it's donehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRyTeqYuGBk
Interesting that the guy said that the axles will bend again over time. If they bent that much to start with (3/4" & 7/8" out) and are going to bend again, isn't that a symptom of under-rated axles? Why not just buy new axles in one or two sizes higher rating? I don't think axles are all that expensive and especially if you end up having premature tire wear again. Axles are often too close to the weight they are carrying and there's not much of a margin.
