Likely needs wheel alignment. Less likely are loose bearing or suspension issue. Visually check spring hangers, u bolts, springs. Jack wheel and check for excessive play. If nothing there, off to the alignment shop.

I have excessive wear on the inside edge rear axle, to the point I'm replacing tires after less than 2 years. Dexter is replacing the axle under warranty. Tech says the bow in the axle is gone. I thought it just needed an alignment, but it was too far out of spec to bend into shape.

Yeah, I've been waiting since January for a replacement axle. Still no word on when it will come. I'm putting on new tires Friday. I've heard Covid has slowed the replacement parts drastically, but sometimes I think that's just an excuse.
You may try finding a Tractor/Trailer service shop to do the alignment.

Agree, a truck/trailer shop does them. If one doesn't, they will know of one that does.

I googled "truck axles Atlanta GA" and got hits on several possibilities, one of which was Service Now Atl., which suggests they do trailer axle repairs.

I had a similar problem on my previous travel trailer, a Keystone Springdale. I had one tire that was wearing horribly uneven. I posted my concerns on a different forum and got several responses to have the axles checked, alignment was the problem, yadda, yadda, yadda. If I would have done everything suggested, I'd be in the poor house.
I did carefully examine and measure distances, if the axles were square, and as much as I was capable of myself. I couldn't find or see anything obvious, but I was not going to take it to a shop and have them pick it apart to find nothing wrong either.
I did get 4 new tires. When the failing tire was pulled, the tire shop told me the tire itself was "faulty", bad, inferior, a defective tire. When he pulled the other 3, he said they were fine. I got all new rubber, and had the trailer for another 7 years with the same tires and never had the problem again.
You be the judge.

as stated before go to a truck/trailer shop for inspection alignment, I would never to go an RV shop for this. Did this last year spent 250.00 had both axles aligned and adjusted (bent). 20,000 mile and the tires still look new. not to mention about 1/2 mpg improvement. good luck.

Tire wear
Hi, I’ve had the same issue and have replaced tires etc. The dealer checked axles and aligned and said all was in spec. As of today I’m running Carlisles and have found that tire pressure and road speed are major contributors to this issue. The Carlisles run at 110 lbs. Road speeds greater than 60 mph combined with longer durations between stops can really eat tires. If you stay below 60 mph it really really helps. That’s my experience after about 15,000 miles.

Did you find an alignment shop in Atlanta? Just returned from a 13,000 mile trip and my rear tires are smoked. The front show normal wear but the rear axel tires wore out on the inside.
