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
