Re: Those Dirty Trailer Rollers

Change to skids and never look back. So this is a 100% common issue with all rollers and fibreglass hulls ? If so my next trailer definitely will be a skid trailer. Between dirty rollers, uneven rollers and all the extra bits that need corrosion upkeep, what a bunch of malarkey. One good feature is...
