So today I un-hitched the trailer from the truck from a trip last weekend. It has been rainy/snowy over the last few days and the trailer has been leaning down toward the front at about a 15* angle. So as I am un-hitching and the trailer slowly comes up off the hitch to a more level position I notice some water coming out of the trim area around the pin-box! I start looking to make sure the water is not rolling down the front cap and then dripping at the trim...nope, its coming from inside the front cap. I can force my hand up in the cap via the pin box mount area and sure enough, there is about a quarter inch of water inside the cap itself. Simple investigation has led me to think that it is a product of separating caulk around the front cap seems both on the roof lines, side of the trailer and probably around the top marker lights. Unfortunately we are expecting rain/snow over the next which means I am not going to be able to caulk anyting this week.
So I am in the process of taking out the floor in the closet to try and access the top of the pin-box mount area and inside of the front cap. What a pain in ***, it looks like the easiest thing to do is going to be to pull the carpet back and then cut the flooring instead of pulling apart the entire closet floor and wall separating the bedroom. I will update as I progress.
Has anyone else had problems like this?
Dare I even start on the fact that I have terrible tire wear and am supsicious of misplaced mounts on the frame....that will come in another thread once I have the trailer looked at by an axle/sping shop next week.
