Inside tire wear
I have one tire with serious inside tire wear, the drivers side front axle, just noticed it after a long trip from Alaska to Shelby MT…yes the Canadians let us through👍🏼
Thanks for any inputs!

Might need to go to a trailer repair shop and have them check the alignment and make sure you don’t have a bent axle. Good luck and keep us up to date on what is causing the wear.
Happy and safe roads to you.

I agree and add to this a trailer shop, not an rv repair shop or dealership. Semi trucks and trailers are often aligned the same way an rv needs to be aligned.

The rig is a 2019, the tires were put on new March of 2020. The original tires were crap.

If the bearings are adjusted correctly, I'd suspect a bent axle, or more likely, just the spindle.

Thank you. I’ve located a trailer repair service, when they open this morning I’m going to call them to see if they can look at it.

My rig is also a 2019. I had to replace tires this month due to a bent axle on the rear. Dexter is replacing the axle under warranty.

Thanks, did you work this directly with dexter or your dealership?
While in Shelby MT I had a Mobil tech pull the tires and we looked for obvious broken/missing suspension, did see anything so we rotated the tires to get even wear. When I get to Arkansas I will look for a place that can check out the axles.
Thanks everyone for providing inputs.

I took it into the dealer and they contacted Dexter. I also rotated front to rear on same sides. It took almost 6 months to get the axle and they are replacing it now. Only thing obvious is there is no "frown" in the middle when weight is off tires. No broken shackles or suspension issues.
