Hey gang... Save the disparaging remarks about "The Little Trailer That
Could"! We had no trouble with it other than the typical chinky quality
issues. The tail light assembly is the cheapest thing I've every seen. Must
be all of about $.10 to make one of these!! When Mark dropped it with us,
the bulb was burned out in this lamp so I put a new one in. That night, I
discover no brake or turn signal lights on the left side. We took it all the
way to Topeka this morning like that. Mike Osipik, Mac Humphries and myself
popped it open again and found that one of the contacts had been shaved
completely off the base of the 1157 bulb by the two copper strips that were
supposed to act as contacts! I managed to pry them apart and insert a new
bulb which was working when the guys left Topeka. Basically, the light
fixtures are the cheapest Chinky hunks of $hit I've ever seen. Otherwise,
that little trailer is doing great service. It is stable, tows easily, and
is holding up very nicely under the weight!
Cheers!!
Jim & Carolyn who just got home 1330 miles later with bigs smiles on our
faces!
