Been pulling a loaner 53' Manac Step with a 2009 mid roof Cascadia,.. first trailer I've pulled with the J-plate slots in the bed.
Coming from a 53' Fontaine with recessed chains in the bed,.. I much prefer the chain pop ups.
The J-hook slots became a source of frustration for me as bungee hooks and any time I laid a chain on the bed,.. they seemed to love to get snagged in the slots.
Just thought I would share my experience,.. as I am in the market for another trailer and after my experience with this one,.. J-Plates are definitely out for me.
Picking my truck and trailer up tomorrow morning. I definitely learned to appreciate what I have compared to running someone elses uncared for equipment.

Sorry to drag it out. That was my first experience with it. Next time I'll consult your opinion and patience level to see if its ok to make a redundant post.
Anyway.. carry on fella's.
And yeah.. winter time is never pleasant. Even ornery Cluck can agree.
