Help, Advice Needed for Trailer

[Laurie S.]

That's a good idea! Would I use an old inner tube for that?

A truck inter tube would be best. They are thicker I think. Make sure that you overlap it.

Okay, thanks!

When I was in a tire shop, we filled a lot of those with foam like forklift ties and mine equipment. Makes it heavy but it never goes flat.

How about the "Big Tex" trailer dealer on I10?

Sell everything and move to Mexico.

I think they spin the tire when they put foam in them.Ask a forklift shop about it.The only way I know of to pinch a tube is imprope installation,you might want to try another tire shop.One that does truck tire's,ron

Since I reinstalled the old tube and aired it up, it almost completely held the air. I only had to top it off a bit after a week. Problem solved. Now I have a new problem, of course. The dolly suddenly died while putting the trailer away. It think it's an electrical problem and my handyman is coming over to check it out. It's so much fun pushing a 22-foot-long enclosed commercially rated trailer by hand, but I did it.

So.....why mess with the dolly anymore......sounds like you have it under control without it........

It's downhill where I park it, no way I could ever pull it uphill.
