another shot of the 3/8 round rod welded in to try and prevent cracks. We are trailering to Yellowstone and Grand Teton from Pa. in early August. so we shall see how well this works. It held up well 6600 miles no recracking.

notice stock support 3/8 plate next to it. First bolted plate in place with 1/4 x 20 stainless bolts and lock nuts. Then used existing holes to drill the 3/8 holes for mounting to trailer's frame. Longer bolts were required 1 3/4 worked with nylon lock nuts

black box has battery for breakaway should the truck and trailer become separtated. This controller works well with my 2009 Chevy built in digital brake controller set the gain to 4 and it seems to be about right for the braking force.Swap done by our trailer's daddy Float On Trailers in Vero Beach Florida On to Key West

New Longer tongue with Electric over Hydraulic Carlise unit. Recently upgraded to a 1600 PSI brake from the original 1200 PSI unit. The heavier duty unit works even better. The 1600 PSI unit is recommended for disc brakes not the drum type.

Same thing on the other side, will increase rim size to 15" from 14" and get Michilin radials on this trailer, the tires supplied really suck. a shame with a quality trailer someone should have said these tires just are not good enough, I guess there ok if you never leave the front porch

Poor quality tires caused the fenders to oscillate at different speeds, causing these struts to break in less than 5000 miles on a new trailer, added gussets to make them stronger

On longer trips I run both the top and bottom nuts tight into the turnbuckle. The turnbuckle is rated for 3500 pounds It has a hole in the middle which I stick a phillips screw driver to hold the turnbuckle while I either tighten or lossen the jam nuts on the turnbuckle itself
