I've never covered any of mp PUs or TTs in the last 20+ years and not had any issues. Mike, Im just south east of you and never covered my trailers in the winter. They do take a little fade from the sun, but no problems with cracking on the roofs or anything..Tires are filled to 65 pounds, covered and sitting on blocks. The scissor jacks are also sitting on blocks and brought down to the block, then a half a turn. Thanks I will do the same with tires and jacks next winter. Just put on new tires.386Views0likes0CommentsRe: Outside Maintenance
Running a dealership costs money. If you can do it right do it your self. But remember your investment a 1000 dollars is worth keeping in top shape. I run a boat dealership on the service side and get so upset about people thinking that we can stay in business not charging for what they don't want to do them selves. You run a dealership and see what you have to charge. But if you can take care of the concern do it.408Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help requested for first time rv trailer buyer

I still don't like bumper hitches guess I through my personal opinion in there. And I definitely feel safer driving with trailer brakes working for quick stops when somone does somthing stupid in front of you like my kids.363Views0likes0CommentsRe: Help requested for first time rv trailer buyer

It does not take much grease in the bearing to do the job if the bearing is packed properly. It's the bearing that needs the grease not the whole inside of the hub. Boat trailers use bearing buddy's to keep pressure in the hub so as you back your boat trailer in and the hub cools quickly it creates a vacuum and can suck water in. I have packed wheel bearings for many years on cars and trailers and only a minimal amount of good quality of grease is needed. If you get the hub hot enough to get extra grease to flow into your bearing you have other problems. Just pack the bearing not the hub and service at recommended intervals.292Views0likes0Comments
