RE: [VAL] drooping rear end



Sharon, Sorry...really....the devil made me...anyway...

You first need to make sure the holding tanks are empty and never travel 
with them filled. Weight tears up the frame. The next step is going to be 
bottom skin removal of the rear area and view the frame failure damage. 
Hopefully it is not rust, and either bending or fracture. Repairs are going 
to be really tough no matter what you find. Let us know what you see. There 
really is no other way except to just get into it. At least you won't get 
hot this time of year.

Back the trailer up on successive good wide flat wood boards until you can 
comfortably work under it. Of course be careful to either leave it on a 
secure vehicle, or chock very secure the trailer so as to not kill yourself 
that it should roll off.

It's work, but you can do it, or if you have a wheel barrow full of money, 
have it done.
