Sorry guys, kinda highjacked an important thread here.
It is important to get out on a regular basis and at least walk around the trailer a couple of times. H'll never know what you will find ! Air leak, light out, wheel missing ! You may laugh but I saw this in a rest area in Ms. just yesterday ! Driver went in to pe came out and was just looking at his R/R trailer. As I went by I asked "got a flat ?" he said "No, that wheel and tire are gone" Hmmmm wonder how he never felt it.

I was in Hammond, LA yesterday at the Petro and a driver drove in. He was missing tires and a brake hub from the trailer. He told me that he never even knew they were gone till he did the same thing. Got out to take a leak and he had to take a double take.

I showed him photos of my wreck from a guy who lost his brake hub.

I spoke to the Petro guy later and he told me that this guy didn't have a mechanical problem he just didn't check/look at his lugnuts on his pretrip.
