Pete, I am curious. I have a question about your trailer. What sort of realistic useful life does a trailer like that have? How many miles or is it measured in years.

Obviously the things like wheels & tires and wheel bearings and brakes get replaced every so often. I am sure the air bags need maintenance and replacement. The pivot attachment has wear and maintenance. What else wears out on a flat bed trailer? Is it just rust and corrosion that ultimately kills a trailer?

I know almost as much about simi-trailers as I do nuclear power. I understand the basic concept but not much about the real long term operation of either.

I presume at some point it is logical to replace the entire trailer with a new one rather that repair an old one. But unless it is damaged in an accident is would seem like it is logical to keep fixing little wear items. Obviously it is a business and not an emotional attachment like and old 911.
