I've not be able to find any info on alignment specs for a popup. Mine's a
Coleman Timberlake with a Dexter 3500lb axle rating. Tire wear isn't too
bad but tends to have accelerated wear on the inner ribs. It looks like
camber is achieved by bending the axle. Not sure about toe. In any case
thought I'd try to make some preliminary measurements using a laser level.

Hi,

Sounds to me like the trailer is overloading the axle, causing it to "flex"

too much......

So - check the REAL weight (as on a scale) and have another look....

I could be WWWAAAYYYYYY out of place, but that's what pops up first off.

Good luck and please post back your findings..
