[VACList] Axle replacement

["Dick Parins" <2867@xxxxxxxx>]

After reading through the new FAQs page I am somewhat encouraged to pursue 
replacing the Axle on Bambi.  I found a Dexter supplier reasonably nearby that seems 
knowledgable.  I have three related questions:  1) Joy have you completed your 
replacement and can you give us an update.  2) How can I determine the correct angle 
to specify for the torsion arm?  3) They make a 2000 pound and a 3500 pound axle.  
The original dry weight of this trailer was about 1875 pounds.  Am I correct that the 
2000 pound axle is too light meaning that I should order the 3500 pound axle?  I'm 
thinking that adding just the propane tanks and battery get me to the 2000 pound limit 
(of course some of the weight is on the tow vehicle).  Or will the 3500 pound axle be 
too stiff?  

Thanks.  If there's anything else I need to know please jump in.
