I know there was a discussion about this a year ago, but just wondering if there others out there who have now had a problem. We noticed significant wear on one wheel of our Sofitel a few weeks ago. After sending photos to NuCamp they agree its highly likely a bent axle. The axle company is sending a replacement axle but claims it isn't a warranty issue, they are calling it a customer "concession". So they are providing axle at no cost but no one paying for replacement installation or new tires. We had about 6000 miles on our trailer. We have never been "off road", drive carefully and keep it in the garage when we aren't camping so it has been gently used. Also noticed in all of this that one of our tires was 2009 and one 2010. Really, on a trailer we purchased in 2015. Keep asking when the axle will be delivered but not getting information we need. Plans for August on hold. By the way we are replacing tires with Goodyear Endurance, thanks to the forum and Facebook for recommendations.

Either way checking this, and learning wheels aligned appropriately, may save cost of installation of new axle which may be substantial. If not aligned something happened to bend it or something went wrong during manufacturing process or installation on trailer frame...and you do need that new axle.
Good luck.
