AIn't THAT the truth? I spend more time and money maintaining trailers than I do on boats or cars! I have a 2 year old utility trailer that I had to rewire, because the insulation for the lighting wire embrittled, and the copper wire turned to powder. Wheel bearings need greasing every couple of years (When was the last time you greased your car's wheel bearings?), lights get corroded and burn out (again, I've driven cars for 10 years without replacing a bulb!).A $200 trailer turned into a $450 trailer real fast
I’d like to know more about the wireless unit. Do you have a link to the product? ThanksI've given up on boat trailer lights and bought a wireless unit.
Works great.
I bought it at Tractor Supply Store. $150.I’d like to know more about the wireless unit. Do you have a link to the product? Thanks
That definitely is true. I bought an older Trailex aluminum double deck trailer to haul my Sunfish and minifish and was shocked when I got on the highway and it started oscillating back-and-forth to the point where I thought it was going to tear itself apart when I got above 45 miles an hour. I added a pair of stainless steel tensioning wires from the tongue back to both sides of the box and that helped tremendously.<snip>
I found that some of them are only rated by DOT to 45 MPH. That's fine if you only need the trailer to get the boat around town, but if you are planning to trailer it on the interstate or any major 55MPH+ roads I would definitely buy up.
