I’m in the process of rebuilding an old 16’ car trailer. Will get the whole thing blasted-top and bottom and probably be easier to just replace the axles with new. And tires and deck.
Open trailer is a whole different story than an enclosed trailer. It’s not only the trailer weight difference it’s what we put inside because we have enclosed trailer’s. I have bolts, nuts, screws, carb parts, starters, fluids, more fuel than most would burn in a year, 250 quad, two generators, air compressor, and 100 other things I may need during the race season. Most of it stays in there all year from season to season. Ohhhhh I forgot tools, lots of tools.
