Haven’t been here in a long time but still kicking and camping in the old Traveleze i rebuilt with all your help. Awhile back I had to replace the whole axel to wheel system due to a problem that occurred on a trip far from home. New axel a dexter 3500lb with the drop and slight camber. Soon after, I put axel under spring to get more clearance using the kit from etrailer. Tires were wearing excessively on outside. Got new tires and being very careful on pressure did a couple more trips. After 3k miles noticed outside waring again. Current opinion is that the trailer is not quite heavy enough to flatten out axel so camber is still off. Just looked at a similar old trailer and original axel is straight. Maybe that’s the fix? Opinions appreciated, thanks.

Toe can also cause edge wear. Toe is easy to measure.
Being a solid axle though makes adjustment of either a hassle UNLESS the spindles bolt to the beam. In that case there may be tapered shims to correct the angles.
Otherwise you might be able to find a truck shop that can bend the beam to correct things.
