Going to look at a new2me trailer

[Flyinfool]

I am going Thursday to look at a new for me trailer so that I can get to Dons MD this spring.

All I know so far is that it is a Menard's trailer, similar to the HF trailer, with a car topper from Farm & Fleet.

The trailer frame and bottom half of the topper are painted black and the top half is painted Yamaha black cherry, I would most likely want to repaint it, to either a light color to reduce heat buildup in the sun, or to match my bike or sell the topper part and build the box that I really want.

It was used once to Sturgis and back to Milwaukee.

 

He is asking $400 which is way to much to me when I can get a new one for less from HF.

 

Anyone know what specifically I should look at on it other than the obvious mechanical stuff?

I'd just buy the HF and be happy with something new

I don't think there is a LOT to look for. Make sure the wheel bearings feel smooth and the tires are OK. There is just not a lot to watch out for other than any obvious cracks, bad latches, etc. on the box.
