Filed Nov 4, 2008 · Body, Suspension · 5,000 miles · AZ

2005 starcraft 28.5 rsqb homestead settler. All four tires have excessive wear on the insides of the tires. There is less than 5000 miles on the trailer and I have gone through two sets of tires. I have contacted several rv repair centers that say the axles need to be replaced. I contacted starcraft and they stated I have an overloaded trailer, which is not true! The problem was not noticed until vehicle warranty had expired. Starcraft refuses to acknowledge there is a problem, even though there are numerous complaints like this stated on the web for several makes and models of rv's.
