Choice RGN

What is the list price on this wannabe rgn

 

Remember the old Challenger trailers? This reminds me of one.

We had a few people buy the Challenger trailers around here because there was a local dealer selling them cheap. I know of at least two that broke completely in half. One of them the guy welded back together and as far as I know he's still using it.

There are some of the name brand trailers you can take the rated capacity and cheat a little. This looks like one of the trailers that you better leave a decent buffer under the rated capacity if you don't want to bend or break it.

Once you tighten the lugs up, make sure you clean those streaks off the wheels. The Man will stop you in a heartbeat if he sees the streaks and will probably even place you OOS. Since they have no way to verify the torque of the nuts, I've seen them just use the presence of streaks to say they are loose.

 

Pardon my lacking knowledge of some of the terms being thrown around here but what is a ground bearing gooseneck?

 

I see what you're saying. I've never ever seen or heard of a ground bearing neck before.

 

I understand the 4 D-rings per side, and loose lug nuts from the factory, making a trailer less than stellar...

But.. What's the downside to a ground bearing trailer? I've never been around one...

 

Even though the cylinders have a big foot on them, a lot of times they will sink into the ground trying to lift a heavy load. Most of them don't have a neck support either so you have to block the neck up to keep it from dragging.

 

If ground is soft or unlevel your not unpinning
