Nice work, but why did you have to do so much to a new trailer? Is it just poor workmanship from the factory?
This trailer was 4 years old when I bought it. It was in good shape, but the owner used it a LOT. He wasn't totally savvy on bearing maintenance. He was probably never aware the battery leaked and didn't hold a very good charge - likely because he powered up the trailer with a generator when at the race track. The A/C got used a lot. He also had two portable work lights mounted to the cowling that surrounds the rear door spring - that's partly why I am theorizing he used AC power all the time.
That sheds light on it! I suspect you got a good deal...and it looks like it will do what you need it to do. Thx for posting...don't forget to show us in use pics down the road!
