RE: [VACList] How to check condition of frame?



The unexposed areas of the frame are rarely ever affected, and are 
almost never worse off than the tongue and rear bumper - short of a 
chronic water leak or weld failure from rough use. You can also see the 
frame in the wheel-wells, step box area and on some late trailers in 
the wire harness splice access hole in the belly after the A-Frame.
I've seen some coastal trailers with severly corroded A-Frames and 
bumpers that have had just a light oxidation on the frame just aft and 
fwd of where the belly pan starts.

Best of luck,
RJ
