I'm getting some vibration in my trailer. It comes and goes while towing, not while braking. I'm guessing its the tires but its only 2011 model. Tires don't look bad. Any body else experienced this?

Check the lug nuts, look at the inside of all the tires for a bulge in the sidewall, also look for where you may have lost a wheel weight any of your tires.

My guess is its happening at or approaching highway speeds. Probably internal separation of a tire or tires. Take a very close inspection of the tires and see if there is a slight bulge on the sidewall. If its there, it will be very subtle but if you have extended mirrors on your tow vehicle you can angle the mirrors to see your trailer tires and drive about 5mph to see if your tire sidewall has a wobble. The bulge could be on the inside, however, tire separation often effects both sides.

Yeah. The tires seem ok. Maybe just out of balance. I might just go ahead and replace them. Don't want to be stranded on the side of the road.
