Structure · at 5,000 miles · reported Nov 4, 2008
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.
