    The only good trailer is a new trailer..

    Learn from George. Buy new only and choose your accessories yourself. No such thing as a deal on a used trailer. The little tings add up and it's hot outside.
    George, one on the port didn't look too good either. I should have took pictures of us sweating out buts off out there!

    Wish the old axles had them!
    Here's the new axle in my shop.
    The old axle is now out.

    If you have something of great quality, and you take care of it, it will last forever.

    The thing is, even if you buy new, say from a dealer, you'll still end up changing it.
    For instance, this axle came from Road King Trailers in Ocala. Even though they're
    located in the middle of FL, they don't offer stainless brakes. Must be a supplier issue.
    They probably won't credit you w/no brakes so you can add them yourself.
    Actually, they build a pretty nice trailer.

    I now have a little over $3K in this trailer, so I guess I'm still ahead.
