Trailer wheels cambered to left?
For some reason, on our used Burley D'Lite trailer that we have not used yet, both wheels are cambered to the left. Not sure now to fix this. Both wheels are in all the way... Hmm.
Anyone?
Anyone?

when you say 'cambered', do you mean leaning at an angle? or do you mean dished?

Burly trailer wheels [I have a CoOp made Flat bed cargo trailer with 20" wheels]
are dished to widen the track, wheel rims are further apart to lessen flipping over.
..one is in the wrong way up.
( rail surrounds whole trailer.. they used a regular front wheel hub )
If they are single sided type and not dished then something is bent, like the axles .

Leaning at an angle.
I have checked both wheels and the spokes are dished. Dished side should be facing the trailer, not away from it. Both are correct.
edit: Hmm. The left wheel seems dished more than the right...

the track width is to be maximized. ,, is the frame flat and straight?
might be bent, maybe someone at Boeing can fix it during a lunch break?.

Just from my Bleacher seat it looks like frame damage.
it was Hit from the side.
I presume if the left wheel is put in the right side It will be the same.
you could take off all the fabric and see if there is someone to straighten it..
they used pretty sturdy Aluminum tube .
like I say Everett-Renton means Boeing , to Me.
somebody in there might bend it back into shape..

So I should just walk across the street into Boeing's controlled access gates and shove my Burley trailer in their face? 
Maybe we will just deal with it. Ha.

Hey, since it's prolly going to be spending a fair amount of time on roads cambered down to the right, you can tell yourself it's a design feature.
What's got me though, is why anyone would want knobby tyres on a trailer... unless you need to do a lot of gnarly off-road trailering for some reason. Rolling resistance!

You're asking the wrong person, Kimmo. Haha. We bought it like that. Now, we will be taking it when we go camping in our VW bus, but that is not the majority of riding, and we don't have mountain bikes right now.

should know somebody out of the thousands that work here ,
my home town was half employed in a navy shipyard.
hard to 'swing a cat' with out hitting someone that worked there.
any how maybe it still follows adequately, how was that aspect.?
hydraulic arbor press a good tool, smooth force, application.

I'd be more judicious than that... particularly if it's ally.
