God I hate trailers.
My best trailer story is busting off a light and cutting my fingers trying to get it out. The best thing about it, was that it was dark, in January after duck hunting on the Coulmbia and the temperature was about 10 degrees.
I've had my CD for one year, and the used trailer I bought with it has leaked grease like a sieve. I've been greasing them pretty much every trip.
The first thing I did was replace the incredibly lame bulb lights with the new, sealed LED lights. They kick Ass!!!! I have had no trouble with them. I haven't cut my fingers, I have punched anything. It's been great, and they are suposed to last 10,000 hours.
On my way up to Everett last year, I almost smashed into the car in front of me when everyone had to stop suddenly. I saw people stopping, but just couldn't stop in time. I had to veer over into the shoulder to avoid wiping people out.
I thought about diggin into it myself, but I figured if I'm going to go 60-70 on I-5 with that baby, I'd rather just have a pro go over the trailer for me.
Two months ago I took it to Kirchner Horse Trailers in Woodinville. A friend of mine who owns a power washer business swears by them. They tore everything down, refinished the spindles, put new drums on, repacked everything, flushed the brake fluid lines and resrvoir, and replaced the fluid.
All in all it was $220. I figure you'd have to pay double that if I'd had it done at a "marine" establishment.
