uneven tire wear
I have a 2017 Outdoors RV with about 12,500 miles on it. Last summer I saw the left rear tire was prematurely wearing. The other 3 tires look great. This summer after a 2500 mile trip, the tire ...

Wear in the middle of the tire normally indicates overinflation. You said you air up all tires to 80 psi. The load that tire is carrying may just be too light for 80 psi. There are some places that do individual wheel weights, instead of by axle. You might want to check it out to see if you need to adjust tire pressures.
I wondered about overinflation, but it is the only 1 of 4 tires with this problem and there’s really not that much variability in the weight. Also everything I read said blowout resistance was best at 80 (max) psi for trailer tires, nothing said anything about reducing inflation for reduced loads.
Someplace that weighs each wheel individually will tell you exactly instead of guessing. At the very least, it would prove or disprove conclusively one possible problem. Here's a link to the Goodyear load/inflation chart. Please note this chart is for towable RVs, as in ST tires. https://www.goodyearrvtires.com/pdfs/rv_inflation.pdf
That’s a new one on me.
Barring some really unusual situation, like the equalizer being hung up on a leaf spring tandem axle, or a torsion axle tandem trailer that is significantly nose up or down, how would one get a significantly different load on one tire compared to the one just ahead or behind it.
