They had real wood cabinetry and were just real class all the way. My suggestion to you is make sure axles are greased well, if it has electric brakes go through them. Then go through the LP system inspecting every joint to make sure no leaks. Water system including the black, grey tanks and you should be good to go. Changing light bulbs to modern LED's is popular mainly to conserve battery life. And finally what ever tow vehicle you go with make sure it is strong enough to STOP the rig. Use a good equalizer hitch with a sway bar and go enjoy that rig.  |
Just had the brakes, wheel bearings and entire trailer gone over by a competent, licensed trailer shop. All good to go. I don't have one of those equalizer hitches, am I going to be hating life?
