    You'll find out when DOT passes you with part of the metal shroud stuck in his grill. Good Luck triple check it with a little tap tap tap, here and there. Maybe a bit of tugging.

    Just note it on your pre trip that the unit does not cool.

    Like others have said, if nothing is going to fall off while on the road, you will be fine. Just double check all lights and such.

    Yeah I guess if they pick it up for peanuts it'd be worth it huh other wise I'd agree with you best off dumping this one. If no other damage all there up for is the price of a new/ second hand fridge motor.

    Probably half of trailer insulation is gone. The temperature was so high one corner aluminum melted. Internal structure sustained damage and no body can guarantee trailer integrity.
    Really sad insurance company allow to sale trailer. Greed has no boundary.

    Any chance it’s going to a trailer sales place that consist of 2 initials in the name? Place I’m thinking of rebuilds wrecked trailers and sells them.
