[VAC] Re: droopy butt

[Roy Lashway <rlashway@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This needs  clarification in  that two forms of "droopy butt" exists.  
One is often called "trailer sag" which is caused by the bending of the 
trailer frame from the axles on back and requires installation of frame 
support plates to fix.  The second problem is most called "frame 
separation" which is caused by the trailer body becoming separated from 
the frame at the very end of the frame due to the rusting out of bolts, 
etc that tie the rear body and frame together.  This is a simpler problem 
to fix and some fix it by cutting holes in the rear body of trailer at 
frame ends and reattachment of body/frame.  This operning is then covered 
with a small patch.  Some callthese  elephant ears.  Obviously  trailer 
sag will product a separation of frame/body but the cause is different as 
is the correction
