Man, you don't know the half of my problems. ;^)
Seriously though, I didn't experience the "tongue-ripping" issue. I
received that info from another trailer builder.
I was/am very concerned with the bolt together trailer kits, especially the
cheaply designed and made Chinese kits. So, I/we welded every seam and
overlap just to be sure. That's always a good idea and has no down side
except if'n you have to pay someone else to do the welding for you. You do
know someone in your local club with a welder don't you? Every club has
"that guy" with the welder, cool tools and air conditioned garage with a
stand alone beer fridge. ;^) The unboxed tongue was a safety issue and
made me uneasy to think about it, so we simply finished what any respectable
trailer manufacturer should have done from the git-go. Besides, my labor is
very cheap.
I am very pleased with my final product enclosed trailer and if I had it to
do over again would only change a few things to suit my tastes, needs and
wants.
Good luck on your trailer and wiring.

All of the folks who replied about the NuWay trailers say they're
actually pretty sound structurally in comparison to the rest, with no one
mentioning problems similar to those of Mr. Linhoff. If you are looking to
buy one in the near future, you may want to keep that in mind. The fact
that the tongue has diagonal bracing on the NuWay trailers was enough to
steer me toward them.
