Hey Mathieu, it's generally not a problem to use a stainless steel hinge on an aluminum trailer but if you wanted to never worry about galvanic corrosion you'd just need to use an isolator to prevent contact between the two metals. We use gardening plastic for this here because it's cheap, easy to find, and very reliable.

Hey Mathieu, how did things turn out using the stainless steel hinge on your aluminum trailer frame? Did the plastic isolator keep corrosion from forming between the metals? Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same setup.
