We are into our 2nd rear axle replacement with our 2006 Wilderness Yukon 27 ft TT, with slide. In both situations, the left rear, drivers side tire on the inside, have worn excessively. The first axle replaced August, 2008, Dexter axle. Dealer claimed it was possibly a defective axle shaft. The most recent, this month sept, same problem. Dealer in process of replacing again. Trailer is definately not overloaded, no major pothole shots, even if so, the front axle would of shown some type of problem. In any case, not twice in 2 years.Fortunately costs to replace have been minimal due to extended warranty ins.However this should'nt be an ongoing problem.One thought has been in the backing the unit into my driveway, possibly the angle, however I've got ample room for backing, approx 2-1/2 cars wide. Has any one experienced this type of reoccurring problem? Any suggestions are truly welcomed

I know backing my unit into my driveway the axles look extremely flexed.....not sure how strong they are? A lot of the flex could be in the rims? I would have the alignment checked out.
