I had also heard good things about manning, until this thread. Guess quality just isn't what it used to be??

My trailer is an Eagle Marlin by the way.

Here's a pic of my fixed axle. Should be plenty strong.

Hopefully I can avoid slamming into semi tires at 70 MPH from now on

Looks strong but the way that axles flex I would seriously consider replacing it in the future..... I have had horrible trailer experiences so far this year so hope your year is better than mine.

It's on my winter list, we don't have any more long trips planned this year, so the trailer may see another 500 - 1000 miles total the rest of the summer. Just don't have the time to tear it down and replace it right now. I'm happy with it, and it should be plenty strong to get me through the season.

Get a Dexter axle, none other- they are the best IMHO

Wannabe

they do. I know a couple people who have them and i think they are one of the better trailers out there

almost went with a manning ended up with performance trailers outta lake george and couldn't be happier

For what its worth I am very happy with my Manning,the trailer with the cracked axle is not a Manning. And Manning does not make axles.

Correct. This was an eagle trailer anyway, I don't recall the brand of the axle...

I've had a 04 Manning since new and it looks as good as the day I bought it other then the rock chips
