I would let 1 psi out of the other 5 and add 10psi to the low one to compensate for damages!

or

sell the trailer and us this method.

Most Ford trucks do arrive at the dealer behind a tow truck so I am thinking that should be the most reliable way to get there

This could have been easily avoided had you checked the level of your blinker fluid reservoir. This is page one of every owners manual.

Steel trailer or aluminum? If it was aluminum, the extra flex on the hull from lack of support most likely caused your stringers and bulkheads to warp. Might as well have them all replaced over the winter so there are no surprises next season.

I heard a long time ago that if the little lady gets D cup implants that it reverses any and all ill effects.
This also worked for us on a forgotten password.
Good luck and keep us informed.

Did you re-air all tires with a hand pump and winter air . Air is more stable when hand pumped . Make sure you install an inline moisture scrubber before pumping or you'll fock up the whole process .

Also, don't use salt air. Always use unsalted air.

If you only trailer for a couple miles each way, you should be ok.

No need to pay $0.50 for the air at the station, put that $$ in your gas tank.
