Trailer axle question

[Redbelly]

I am looking at a 21' camper, an '06 model. all 4 tires have very heavy wear on the insides. I suspect bent axles. Who in the Tally area could I call to see about the $$ to fix this?
Thanks

He has done a good job fixing my boat trailer and the one for my work boat as well. They sell and work on all types of trailers.

Redbelly, I had problems with my boat trailer from the get go. The company sent me two new tires and another set of leaf springs which did no good. I had never put my boat in the water from a boat ramp but had always used the lift at Keaton. No possible way I could have a bent axial, right! Anyway, after much frustration and grinding of teeth, I took the boat and trailer to Valdosta Alinement and they alined the axial and it has been SUPER!

No problems now....take it to a good alinement shop.

The axles can bend simply from supporting the weight of the load over time whether you launch at a ramp or not. I had a 21' Sea Pro Bay boat that I purchased new on a single axle trailer from the boat show in Tampa. Every 6 - 8 months, I would have to flip the axle.

It should have been on a tandem axle, but that was the way it was displayed at the show, and I took their word for the trailer being able to support the weight.
