Can anyone help???? We flat tow our 2013 Ford Edge behind our 43 ft. Allegro Bus and now have over 6,000 miles on this system using the RV 1 braking system. We had our Ford dealer install the Roadmaster hitch. Unbeknown to us the hitch was not level between the two creating tire wear on the Ford tires that sound absolutely horrible while driving the vehicle alone. Our Ford dealer said that balancing the Ford tires would not help and may make the noise worse. Short of buying new tires does anyone have an opinion how to eliminate the noise. I miss my quiet ride. Bummer to have done this on a new car!!!!

Honestly, this does not make sense to me. Unless your tow bar angle is really out of level, it does not impact the tow, camber, or castor of your towed Edge. Where are the tires wearing on the Edge? What tow bar are you using? Are you sure you are unlocking the steering column on the Edge each time enforce you tow? Any unusual brake wear?
