I have an Arctic Fox 30U and I have been under it many times.
My guess, and it's only a guess, is this is what happened.
The slide rack and pinion is out of time. Mine did that too. What happened to mine was this. I went to pull in the side and only one side would come in. :M I went under and found out the roll pin had backed out and sheared on the pinion gear. If I would have put the pin back in, in that position it would have been out of time. I pushed the slide all the way out and then put the pin back in to keep the whole slide in time side to side.
I would suggest you don't fall in love with any particular trailer. You can fall in love with a model and brand of trailer; just not a trailer that has problems.
if you do decide to try and get this trailer please take it to a shop before you buy it to find out how expensive it will be.
Good luck.
