How many pounds is the loading ramp rated for? It took a 2700 pound Kubota bx25d loader backhoe backing in... Needs a few more inches ground clearance. Can the axles be flipped, or will that weaken the spring?In the wheel well area under fender I see exposed plywood, is that normal? Isn't it going to absorb water if caught in the rain? Or is that necessary for any moisture in the walls to seep out? here is the wheel well pic

The exposed plywood edge is not typical of RVs, and ought to be sealed somehow IMHO. It would not last well with the water and grit and stuff thrown up by the wheel. I think maybe the fender edging is broken?As for the other questions, you probably will have better luck getting answers if you post what sort of a trailer or whatever this is. (Not better answers from me, as I wouldn't know in any case, but better answers from someone....)

If it were me in regards to the plywood, I would clean it up real real good and cut strips of eternabond and completely cover it. I did this in a lap siding style on the inside of the wings on my truck camper. Has held up extremely well and doesn't look half bad either.

Is part of this thread missing? Looks like there out to be some sort set-up statement of what this is a picture of.

Moved from General RV'ing to Tech Issues

Wood & WaterYachting, especially sailboat forums are the true experts at managing this. Google CRUISING SAILBOAT FORUMS then start rooting around. They talk durability, how to apply correctly and the best place to buy materials.
