You're just a baby! I'm 78. *oof*

I've never found the torque specs for my trailer's wheels. As I recall, I torque them to 90 ft-lbs. And, of course I do it in stages, moving crosswise over the...

Yuck! What a horrible design!

If it were my trailer, I'd sure study it to see if I couldn't cut some of that side away. I can't believe it's "structural". And, that portion of the side only...

You can buy the plastic edging material (it's black and I have it installed OEM around my wheel openings, the battery door and the back bumper hatch). I THINK I found some at Camping World.

Yes,...

Ruger, could you cut the skirting hiding your wheels to expose them more? That would solve your tire changing difficulties.

I think that would work. You could also cut the end you drive up on at about a 45 degree angle to provide a very short "ramp" that would not interfere with the tire to be changed. You could use a...

You don't really need much of a "ramp", Jerry. You can pull/push your trailer up onto a "rampless" block with your tow vehicle without too much trouble. It just has to be high enough to get the other...

Jerry, you're probably OK with your plans. 20 miles is not a very big distance. Heat is probably your biggest concern. A slower towing speed will minimize that.

If you have Discount Tire where you...

The lug nuts on your trailer wheels are SAE. In fact, I think EVERY fastener in your trailer is SAE - mine is. You can change a tire with a standard socket wrench that you would put on a torque...
