I see in the pics you have a Lark trailer. I had one built with a/c, gen set, awning, inside lighting, outside floods, you know, the works.
I was wondering if you had any trouble with the axles, i only have about 7,000 miles on mine and it has destroyed a set of tires already. Not sure if they did not get the allignment right or if the axles are bent or what the deal is.
I think they did a great job building the thing, craftmanship is top notch but dang it, should not be having to replace tires already!!!:mad: :grr: :confused:

I'm not sure but I think that may be the norm on these trailers. On my old single axle I could see where the tires were also going bad on the inside of them. No problems on mine as of yet.

I am sure you guys know this, but if you let the air pressure on trailer tires run low on as much as one long(200mile) trip it will ruin a tire. They need to be max pressure all the time to stay in good shape.

I learned from my boat trailer, one side tire was low and it was early morning and we were on the way to Ft Desoto 45miles.
Didnt wanna take the time to stop at a gas station and fill it and when I got home that day the tire was ruined. This was a new trailer with carlisle trailer tires.
Definitely keep them max pressure when hauling the trailer is important.
typically trailer tires hold mor pressure than car tires also

turns out the axles were bent. i had 3500lbs axles under it and the most gross weight i ever had was 4360. (i have access to a truck scale where i work)

you would think that with 7000 capacity 4360 would not hurt?

anyway, they said when the trailer gets to bouncing like after a rough pavement joint or two, the added down force will exceede the limits of the axle. not sure if i buy that or not. isnt that what the springs are for?
the trailer now has 5300lbs axles under it. problem solved, i hope.
