My wife and I have been taking our camper trailer (22' 2013 Kodiak) to a nearby parking lot to practice backing up and have noticed some concerning noises that I'm not sure if are normal or not. When going straight everything seems to be fine, but when we start to turn (greater angles seem to make it happen more) we'll get some creaking and groaning and then sometimes a pop or two. It seems to be happening at the axles. I assume that backing up one way and then the other and making lots of turns like that puts a lot of torsion on the rear axles.
Also, after hearing these noises and having the trailer in a full turn backing up you can look at the tires and see that they have different cambers (two axle trailer). Well that seems to be explained as normal by this youtube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qIFdltJRqoQ) but wanted to check here too.
Really then, it's just the noises I'm concerned about. We took a video... I'll see if I can post it here in a minute.
