Default Re: Trailer help

all depends on how much you want to pay. and what you are using to tow it.
I purchased mine EX government.

trailer I deal with are all hot dip gal so welding repairs and paint [signage] becomes difficult.

wiring, jockey wheel and coupling are the items I regularly replace. parts are so cheep if you keep it to the mass produced items like the online trailer parts.

Patch lead between the car and trailer, so you can use on different vehicles and over engineered jockey wheel. Trailers carry loads and most people forget that you may need to decouple loaded. also have to look at ball weights these days.
some of the boats around here use the spare tyre carrier and a crank method as a jockey wheel.

so many different coupling heights and you want to have tool box space to carry a 2 ton trolley jack. or those wheel budy ramps.
