[Rhodes22-list] Trailer Measurements (was "I Hate My Trailer")

[Peter Thorn]

Todd/Steve/Jim,

I wonder if the axle on Steve's "problem" trailer mounted is 6" forward of
the Jim's 2003 Triad?   That, with loosy goosy springs...

aft edge of the crossmember. Guessing at the axle diameter as roughly 3" and
the crossmember is roughly 1-1/4" wide +, The center to center measurement
would be roughly 48" to 48-1/4".
