drop-down tail gate demonstration

The trailer body, frame and sides are constructed of glavanized steel, which means it will not rust or corrode. The sides are completely enclosed, which helps prevent load loss when hauling loose materials such as mulch. The tail gate opens to a full 180 degree position, allowing it to hang straight down, and it can be removed for your convenience. The tail gate fastens closed with two heavy-duty, side-mounted, lockable gate latches. The torsion ride axle with its independent suspension improves handling and lowers ground clearance.

The torsion ride axle with its independent suspension improves handling and lowers ground clearance. The trailer's low deck height and easy-tilt function make loading and unloading easy. ATVs and lawnmowers can be driven into the trailer for transport, and the whole trailer can be tilted to dump out loads such as rock or dirt. To tilt the trailer, simply pull out the safety pin and turn the knob, releasing the catch. The pin is attached to the trailer by a lanyard, so you will never lose it while you are focusing on the tilt function.



protected tail lights and license plate lights wiring along underside of trailer

This trailer's wiring system is simple, functional and durable. The lights connect easily with snap-together wiring. The wiring runs to the lights through channels on the underside of the trailer that conceal and protect the wires, and a built-in harness keeps exposed wires from dangling.

All towed trailers must be licensed. To simplify this process, the licensing paperwork is included in the kit. You fill out the forms and take them along to your local Department of Motor Vehicles.

Question:

I have a Weekend Warrior FSW 3200 toyhauler and when I apply the brakes a howling or squueking comes from one of the brakes...do you know what causes this?

asked by: Bob       last update: June 9, 2009

Reply:

The most likely culprit is worn brake components. Check the pads, make sure the drum is in good condition, make sure there isn't any front to back play in the magnet actuator arm. Chances are, this is what is causing the sound you are hearing.

Question:

I have a Shorelandr boat trailer. I would like to know the type of grease that I should use for the wheel bearings. I have a can of #11380 grease, but I dont know if I should use this, since they say that I shouldnt mix greases. Can you help me? Also, I wonder if your Mini grease gun kit would be all right to use.

asked by: Fred       last update: June 9, 2009

Reply:

For boat trailers, we recommend the Lubrimatic Marine Grease. You do not want to mix different types of grease. We sell the Grease and Mini Grease Gun together as a kit.

Question:

I have a trailer that has a 3,500 LBS axle. The total weight of the trailer & my load is, 3,000 LBS. My leaf springs has a 1,750 LBS rating. They go flat when loaded, is this ok, or do I need heaver springs? I have another question about the springs, what do the shackles do? Can you mount the springs with out the shackles? And I also have a probem with my tires waring on the outside & inside of the tires on both sides of the trailer. The tires are rated for 1,750 LBS. I put 50 LBS in the tires like it says. So, does the springs have anything to do with the ware on the tires.

asked by: Craig       last update: June 3, 2009

Reply:

The tire wear you describe indicates that either the trailer is overloaded or the suspension is loose, damaged, or worn. Let's start with your leaf springs. From your description, it sounds as if they are worn out, or perhaps you have some other loose or worn suspension parts. They should not completely flatten when the trailer is loaded. Once the springs are flat, you essentially have no suspension. Check the bushings on your leaf springs, they might be worn as well. Closely examine the rest of your suspension parts, make sure everything is tight. Another possibility is that your axle might be bent. The shackle links are what allow your leaf springs to flex, I wouldn't recommend removing them.

Question:

I have a 2000 Coleman popup camper with electric brakes. When applying brakes they tend to surge like they are grabbing. I have removed the drum for inspection, cleaned the assembly and repacked the bearings. There is plenty of brake lining left and no grease or oil on the shoes. However it did seem that the magnets were binding on the post. I sprayed brake cleaner on them and now they move more freely but I still have the grabbing affect but not nearly as prevelent. Is this a sign that the magnets are going out or something else failing?

I believe your trailer brakes are out of adjustment. To adjust the trailer brakes, first jack up the trailer so that the one wheel is off the ground. Obtain a brake adjusting tool (available at any auto parts store). On the rear of the brake assembly, there is a rubber plug which needs to be removed, exposing the adjuster. Next, insert the adjusting tool into the hole, and use the tool to catch the teeth in the adjuster. Tighten until you can no longer turn the wheel by hand. Then back it off, or loosen it, by 10 clicks. This should leave a very slight drag on the wheel. Then repeat with each wheel. This should solve your problem.

Question:

What is the typical range for the labor cost associated with replacing the Hub Assembly on a standard trailer?

asked by: Tanecia       last update: May 20, 2009

Reply:

At our installation facility, the typical labor time to replace a hub assembly is 1 hour per axle. This assumes that the spindle isn't damaged.

Question:

I have a 2001 Tracker Trailstar with my Tracker 175 ProTeam boat. It uses a zerk fitting on the end of the axle to get grease to the inner and outer bearings. If I remove the zerk fitting and put on Bearing Buddies, will it still get grease to the inner bearings?

asked by: Tom       last update: May 16, 2009

Reply:

If the zerk fitting is threaded in, it would be possible to remove it and use the bearing buddies. The bearings should still receive the necessary grease.

Question:

I bought a set of electric break assemblys for my trailer and need to know how to wire the breaks on the trailer. There is only two wires, I know the break is blue but where does the other one go to the ground or somewhare else, and does it matter which wire goes whers they are both green on the break it self only one is longer than the other. My vehicle is already set up for the breaks but I have never hooked the trailer side up before.

asked by: Steven       last update: May 13, 2009

Reply:

Each brake magnet will have two wires coming off of it. One wire (it doesn't matter which, as the brake magnets have no polarity) would ground to the trailer frame, and the other would connect to the brake output (blue) wire.

Question:

I bought Coleman tent trailer. It has wiring going to the wheels for trailer brakes. 1. Do I service the brakes just like a car? Turning the drums, etc? 2. How can I tell if the brakes are working? 3. If all of the above, do they self adjust?

asked by: Billy       last update: May 13, 2009

Reply:

The trailer brakes would be serviced just like typical automotive drum brakes. The easiest way to test their function would be to tow your trailer to a large parking lot, and while driving at 20 mph, apply just the trailer brakes by using the manual override switch. You should feel some resistance from the trailer brakes. The brakes do not self adjust, you'll have to use an adjusting tool. To adjust the trailer brakes, first jack up the trailer so that the one wheel is off of the ground. Obtain a brake adjusting tool (available at any auto parts store).

Question:

Howdo I lubricate the bearings on my Tracker Marine L.P.Trailstar boat trailer?

asked by: Tom       last update: May 7, 2009

Reply:

The procedure will vary depending on your hub/spindle setup. If you have the bearing buddies, or the EZ-lube spindles, simply use a grease gun on the zerk fitting. If you have a standard hub, you'll have to disassemble the hub and clean, examine, and repack the bearings. We have a whole series of instructional videos that show how to keep your trailer hubs maintained.

Question:

I want to raise the height of 5th wheel trailer, tandum axel, I want to move the leaf springs down two notches on the leaf spring holders risers. Can this be done by just raiseing the trailer to relieve pressure on each leaf holder or do I need to raise the entire trailer and have all 4 wheels offthe ground???

asked by: Glenn       last update: May 7, 2009

Reply:

To relieve the pressure on the leaf springs, you'll have to get all 4 wheels off the ground.
