First, is the 04 WW FK1900 one of the affected trailers that should be repaired/fixed or prophylactically altered?
Second, Considering the unfortunate circumstances of WW would a trailer like this be a good toy hauler for a new RV'er?

The 2004 FK1900 could be one of the affected trailers. Somewhere in the many pages of this thread I think there are pictures of the tongue. If the one you are looking at has the 1/8" thick metal then the prophylactic fix should be done. I believe the fix calls for 2"X2" square tube to be added under the existing tongue. My 2006 FK1900 has the 3/16" thick metal in the tongue and has no issues.
It is overall a good TH. Be aware that they are a lot heavier than the factory specs, mine has a tongue weight of 1,100# to 1,200# depending on how it is loaded.
They also had a lot of issues with roof leakage at the front cap. Check inside for any signs of water in the ceiling, you may see rust stains from the staples, sure sign it has leaked. Go up on the roof, if it has the race deck it should be solid, if soft then it has rot. Even without the race package the roof should be solid but will have some give to it.
