Triton trailer alignment issues

[Snow gypsy]

I have a 2001 Triton Elite 16-101 trailer and it eats tires. They wear in both directions as in camber and what would be toe in. Any help or fix?

Have you taken it to a trailer shop to have it alligned? If not I would start there.

i had a tandem axle trailer that was eating three of the four tires with a vengance, there is a shop in boise that i took it to and they have a machine that they hook up to the axles and it alighns them so they all track perfectly by bending the axle tubes. sets camber, castor and toe. it cost me about a hundred an axle if i remember correctly. check around, there should be a shop like that around you.

if your getting wear on both edges of tire air pressure may be low also something easy to check

There are several factors contributing to those kinds of tire wears. Air pressures, with tandem axles, need to slow down on curves and turns, alignments, and overload exceeds tire load ratings. As most of you may know or not know that regardless of size, for example if you have 13 inch tires on your trailer, check load rating in alphabet such as C or D or E. Those alphabet letters tells the pounds of load you can carry. also air pressure will be higher on high load rated "D" tires over C rated, same with E over D.... SO always get high rated load tires for reliability and longevity at little extra cost but in long runs they are cheaper than replace tires more often from my personal experiences.
