Axle wearing 1 tire
So I've had to have my slide motors replaced under insurance due to 1 inch difference between top and bottom of slide. Granddesign customer service is absolutely worthless. Now we've noticed the left rear tire is worn on inside to the cords. Again customer says not their problem. At least the warranty on the propane regulator was replaced by recall.

How would slide motors make the slide crooked? And why would insurance have anything to do with it?

Grand design would not warranty any of my repairs so I had insurance which did repair the slide but not the axle.
The slide was popping and grinding about 2 years after purchase and resyncing motors didn't solve the issue. So slide had to be removed and realign with new drive motors.

Make, model, how many years old. Apparently this isn't a new trailer. So wondering what the GD warranty time period is and for what items.
Kind of wondering why too. But the OP is certainly welcome to join and post as he likes (as long as it within our rules).Larry KE4DMG

So new to forums. My question is what can I do about the axle. Will have to replace it or can it be aligned.

You'll have to have it examined to see if the axle stub shaft is bent, or a different problem. With just one tire showing wear, it lessens the possibility that it is an alignment issue. But it's pretty much impossible to diagnose long distance. You need someone, if you're not able to diagnose the problem, to look at it and determine what the issue is. A trailer shop would be a much better bet than an RV dealer/shop.
