Your first post did not say he repacks the bearings every 500 miles. I am certain he does not.
You did post he charges $55 for long trips. This compensates for the miles you put on the trailer vs someone that goes 100 miles and relaxes for a week or two before returning. I call legit.

Like I said, maybe I'm too picky, and there was another fee called the "prep fee"for $89 that I didn't even get into.
