I bought this trailer about 10 years ago, and it’s now my son’s, but we have both used it quite a lot. Loaned it to a grandson and this happened….
It appears that the welds broke where the tongue was attached to the main frame. So, I towed a car trailer 520 miles to retrieve the injured trailer. I ran the winch rope under the axles of the Gladiator to the injured trailer and winched it on backwards.
Since I was already at Crater Lake, decided a camping trip was in order with Grandson.
…and then one more night camped by the Columbia River…
Once home, I will put it in the shop and fix the poor design so it will be ready for more camping trips….and never break again.
