Hi all, I am getting ready to pick up a new to me 2285. The sole owner bought in October 2017 however the placard shows manufactured September 2016. Question re the tandem axles.. Upon doing my inspection I noticed arches in the center of each. These are Nev R Adjust - torsion style. Please forgive my ignorance in not knowing what I'm talking about just yet. See pictures and the question is simple, is this normal? Tyvm

If the arch or bow is on top, that is by design. It gives the empty trailer tires a slight tip in. As the trailer is loaded the weight will force the axels to level out putting the tires in a vertical alignment.
