    I put down on this trailer, before I complete the purchase, I took lots of pics. Anything stands out and is reason to back out

    She don't look too bad, other than the mentioned rub rails. Here is a tip if you stand around with your winch bar ready, forklift operators tend to not bend them up.
    I am not crazy about the chain tie downs on the rails, nor the tail lights set, but neither would be a deal breaker.
    With the aux plug, both axles must have a dump set up, and may be wired for some beacons on the back too.
     
    D.Tibbitt and Doughboy18 Thank this.

    That kind of damage usually comes from side scraping the trailer on another trailer, pole, or whatnot. Especially since it’s in that one area like that. It’s fixable and honestly trailer looks decent.

    After looking at the picture again,you are 100% right, it looks like a van driver pulled it for a trip. lol
    I know, I know, but I couldn't help it. lol

    That's what the rub rail is for. When you need to make an impossible corner with a power pole in the way you hug the pole and it swings the back of the trailer around for you.
