And no, no race tracks, counter clockwise or other wise

EDIT: John Wahlstein has taken his Elkmont on a similar trip, except his tires were at 65psi.
Hopefully he'll chime in with his tire wear story, or lack of it.
You can check for toe-in by measuring the distance from the front of one tire to the front of the other tire and compare that to this measurement from the rear of the tires. They should be the same distance.

For camber, you can use a simple carpenters level or dropping a plumb-line next to each tire (on level ground). You could also use a 24" carpenters square (on straight, level ground).





The key is knowing that the surface that the trailer is sitting on is level......
