Buying a trailer; is this too much rust?

Surface rust. No big deal, run your finger on the top side of airbag mount, what year trailer don't buy over 10 years

 

Wtf is that wiring on the beak chamber

 

Yep. Not alot if people load trailers older than 10 years, plus that's alot of money to dump in to it spend the money on a newer trl.....5 years

 

Could be the ABS sensor wires. That is what mine look like.

OP if you can get a camera to look at the interior area above the Fifth wheel plate.
I bought a bargain priced trailer. Planned to R and R the deck. Removed the deck above the fifth wheel plate, all the cross members were compromised with rust. The plate pushed up the cross members from the weight and weakened cross members. All the cross members and the plate needed replacing.

 

Depends on what you’re going to use it for. If you’re doing mostly fresh 28* and up it will probably do fine. If you’re doing mostly frozen loads, then the unit is going to struggle, even though the insulation looks good it has lost the majority of its R value.

 

Bad idea to by a 51' trailer. Shippers won't want to load you. Buy a 53'

 

Horrible idea. Buy something no older then 5 yrs max. Preferably 3 yrs or newer. I would not run that trailer even if it was free tbh.
