What Would Cause Trailer Tire Wear

Question:

Hello, I have a dual axle travel trailer. I’m having inner tire wear, but only on one tire. Rear most axle. Tire on opposite end of axle has a strange taper wear pattern , but no severe wear like the one in the picture. This is a 2021 year trailer with little use.

It is most likely a bent spindle or axle that is causing the tire wear you mentioned but sometimes it's a damaged suspension component. So what I would do is go over the trailer suspension seeing if you can find anything that looks damaged or bent and fix as needed. If you can't find anything then it would be time to take the trailer into a shop that can do alignments on trailer suspension and let them see if they can find the issue.
