    That would be the trailer @JolliRoger .. I had seen the bad bags when I 1st was reviewing the pictures .. I had allowed for those .I've changed them a few times in parking lots .. but never 4 at 1 time
    I've pretty well decided to just forget about bidding for a few reasons .. the seller has not replied yet to my messages or voice mails .. I did get a text yesterday saying ....Can I call you back in a while .. that was at 4 pm yesterday ..still no call.. I don't understand what looks like some sort of air bag at angle in the middle of the rear axle .. and the right rear panel on the right side looks like it has either straps or something like hinges going to the rear post .. that bothers me also and it is a 22 year old trailer so I'd be willing to bet the floor is junk or close to it
    So unless it is Absolutely dirt cheap.. Iam out of interest..
    I can get screwed 100 miles from home .. why do I need to go all the way to Alabama to get screwed ..lol..
    I do appreciate you taking the time to grop around for me

    No thanks needed. I have over the years been blessed to look at equipment and form an opinion of whether to go or leave. So far it is been heavily weighted in my favor. I have had the oh oh a few times, but also have had would be coopetition lose the laugh. Hence the opinion, haul of fix roadable there. Sometimes first impressions are the most enlightening.

    I know of some guys that actualy have started their own business inspecting vehicles and equipment for potential buyers
    @wore out had a friend that happened to be in that area yesterday so he stopped and looked it over and reported back the issues he noticed.
    So it worked out ..Thanks to the helping hand @wore out & Doc gave me
