Left tire: Cupping and excessive wear on only one tire like that indicates that either the tire is underinflated or overloaded. Depending on the layout of the trailer, and how you load, one side of the trailer can be quite a bit heavier than the other. This is something you want to address before you lose the tire, which can cause damage to the wheel well.

Just brought up the floorplan of that trailer - it's pretty well balanced, with the fridge on the right, and the kitchen on the left. Cabinets and storage areas could be unevenly loaded....

The only thing that was different from normal short trips was that we had water in the fresh water tank ( for Walmart boondocking )which is located on front left side. Possible overload there. I actually do have some wear and cupping on rt side as well just not as bad. Tires were at 55 PSI which is recommended max for the tire size. I'm thinking axle problems. Gonna try a new set of tires and see how that goes. I'm still not happy with a single axle travel trailer even though they have been manufactured for decades.. Dunno... Any thoughts out there?

Jeg,

For the new set of tires, at lest, get a modern technology radial tires, not stone age bias plys tires like the OEM...

I do have Good Year Marathon and pretty satisfied with it. A very little uneven wear but i'm over 30,000 km of towing and they are still good for at least 2 seasons.

Everyone: Keep in mind that when you're towing with a single axle unit that per scaled weight is near its limits, towing with a WDH will add MORE weight to the trailer axle.

Those with poor tire wear and bent axles should weigh their LOADED units axle weight WITH WDH attached to the TV. You might be surprised.
