Purchased a new 2013 Keystone Outback 277RL TT in February, 2013. We took it on a 1000 mile break-in trip and all seemed well, other than the usual 100 minor problems that new RVs seem to have, worst of which was the shower door shattering 10 minutes after my wife took a shower. Was able to fix all the rest myself.
We then embarked on a 10,000 mile trip. About 8000 miles into the trip I started to notice the curb side tires were showing excessive wear on the outside of the tires. Both tires are showing the same amount and area of wear. I am very diligent about keeping tires inflated exactly as specified and use a tire monitor system on the trailer. I do periodic checks of the wheels for loose bearing, etc...
I am now a ping-pong ball being bounced between Keystone and Camping World (where I purchased the trailer). Camping World does not have the equipment to deal with this type of problem so Keystone tells me to take it to another "authorized" Keystone dealer. Ha Ha Ha!! I can't even get another dealer to do the necessary analysis, let alone fix it. So I called Keystone back... They have yet to get back to me.
So has anyone else had this type of tire wear and what did you find as the cause. My first thought is a bent axle, but both tires, front and back on the same side, are wearing exactly the same. Seems a little unlikely that both axles would be bent the same amount. HELP!!
