It's great to have our ear available to evaluate our own short-comings.
It has nothing to do with short comings. I'm just fortunate to have driven thousands of miles on and off road towing trailers. I also get to test drive and deliver scores of trailers, so if there is a problem that re occurs I'm able to address it immediately.
So far there have been no reoccurring problems or a theme of problems indicating a design problem or flaw. There have been some individual issues with trailers and most of them have revolved around, over or under inflated air bags, tires with less than stiff side walls, loose lug nuts, ball couplers coming uncoupled, leaking Schrader air valves, and other small annoying time consuming items.
Nothing magical going on at this end, just repetition and familiarity.
I'm in total agreement with you when you say "But what's a forum for? It's for a discussion of options and opinions/considered or not."
There are lots of ways to solve the same problem. Some are better than others, but not every solution will satisfy every person. If we can listen to all sides our own opinions may change, or we may see the problem from an angle we hadn't thought of.
By the way I like your trailer, and thanks for bringing it all the way up to Pyramid Lake. Very cool home made unit.
Being open minded leads to progress.
