WHY ARE THEY MINUS A WHEEL?
WELL, IT COULD BE BECAUSE THE AND OF COURSE, ON THIS TRAILER OR IT COULD BE BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LUBRICATE IT, ON A REGULAR BASIS.
AND EVEN IF YOU DON'T USE IT, THOSE BEARINGS BECAUSE OTHER THINGS THAT ARE SAFETY ARE THE SAFETY CHAINS.
THEY SOMETIMES DRAG THEY'LL WEAR THIN IN SPOTS, OR THEY'LL GET REALLY, AND THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED.
THE TIRES TRAVEL AT BECAUSE THEY'RE SMALLER, 60 MILES AN HOUR, DOING 80 OR 90, AND THAT HEAT IS WHAT LEADS TO MAKE SURE YOU CHECK ALL OF BECAUSE ROOF LEAKS AND THINGS CHECK THE INSIDE, ROT ON THE FLOOR IS COMMON.
SO CHECK ALL OF THE WOOD TO MAKE OR IF IT ISN'T, OF REPLACING IT AND MAKING YOU'LL PROBABLY HAVE TO UPDATE TO GO TO LED.
LED IS BRIGHTER, IT LASTS LONGER.
IT COSTS A LITTLE BIT MORE, THEN, YOU HAVE TWO TYPES THAT IS, THAT YOU HAVE 110/120 VOLT PLUS...YOU HAVE MAKE SURE YOU USE THE PROPER AND EVERYTHING.
THIS IS 12 VOLT...
THESE WIRE NUTS THAT SO MANY OF DON'T DO IT, THAT'S NOT THE CONNECTOR THAT GOES BETWEEN WELL, IT HAS TERMINALS IN IT.
