I just returned home from a 2200 mile trip. I noticed the passenger front tire was worn on the outside of the tread. I checked the drivers front tire
and it was worn on the inside tread. This is on an Everest 34 fifth wheel with the moreryde suspension system which was rebuilt and upgraded less the 5k miles ago. I also had a brake job done right before our trip. Does this sound like an alignment issue? Anyone have this happen to their rig before.

Thanks

It could be alignment. I would contact Lippert(Dexter) and talk to them. I had a similar issue and they were very good at talking me through all of the measurements to confirm it was a bent axle. They sent me two new axles at no charge. I have only taken a few short trips since I replaced the axles but leave July 4th for Alaska so that will be the test.

When I had extreme tire wear it ended up being a bent axle. Tire wear was on the inside treads, which makes sense. Not sure this would explain the tire wear you are seeing on the outer treads though.
