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 my trailer aligned after installing a wet bushing kit and a new set of Maxxis "D" weight rated tires (a step up from the cheapo Cs that came from the factory)
The alignment wasn't cheap, but the outsides of the OEM tires were bald after only about 5,000 miles. The tire wear was mainly due to the tires being junk and underrated for the trailer, however the shop did have to make some adjustments to get the alignment spot on.
I have put on at least another 5,000 miles since the work, and the tires still look new and show no uneven wear. I'm not sure if it's due to the better tires, wet bushing kit, alignment, or a combination of all three, but I'm happy and figure it was money well spent.
