Post in thread 'New Thule Trailer'

Just found this forum. I have the larger Thule N3205. Really glad to see everyone's ideas for bike racks, etc. I was looking for replacement gas struts for the trailer top which is what led me here. I just found them at LiftSupportsDepot.com for $19.94 each. Thought I'd post in case others are struggling to find these.
Here is my setupView attachment 2695069
Hi, sorry for the late response.what is the part # for the lid struts. Also,do the new struts secure the lid when it is open,or does the lid want to close on it's own?
Thanks.
I don't have one - but I can tell you need to upgrade what is there - I'd recommend some 3x4 or 4x4 angle iron to support that thin section getting "sucked down" - Or just some flat 3" plate but an L would get you up on the wall of the frame to spread out the load. Might as well. Similar stress to my Suby-Axle Trailer - with 3/16 C-Channel Frame, it's going on like, 25 years in service as a trailer and doing fine. Geeze no has to be 30 years. Damn I'm oldHey everyone. I wonder if one of you can help me with an axle mount question. Is the axle supposed to me mounted so that the bracket straddles the large crossmember in the middle of the trailer? Mine was mounted so the rearward bolt was through the crossmember but the forward mounting hole was well forward of the crossmember. I've taken 3 pretty long trips with the trailer and on this last one the front mounting bolts ripped out of the trailer frame because the metal is fairly light gauge and whoever assembled it put the washers under the thick axle bracket instead of on top of the thinner frame rail. Was lucky I had driven to a Champcar race that weekend and had my mig welder with me. Had to weld it up in the parking lot to get home!
If you can please post a pic of how your axle is mounted. this is the larger 1700 trailer.
Thanks in advance!

Please PM contact information when available, many thanks!Just a heads up I will be selling a Thule 1700 next month. Fair/Good used condition. Denver, CO. I've got to get one more trip out of it first
I still love the thing, but as the family grows, I just need something a little bigger. I'll pull it out of the garage and get some pics together if there's interest.
Well two years later - the repairs are being done and the pictures are up. Holy cow time got away from me... Renovated the old house, sold in ~36 hours (!!!) and we have been enjoying our current house and doing repairs and upgrades, etc. Really loving the flat driveway for projects. Milked the damaged Brenderup for two years until we were moving community theater things across town and it just came apart at the seams. The floor gave out, the sides sliped off the floor and started rubbing against the tire's inner sidewall. Smoke! Oh-my! We pulled over. Borrowed a trailer to complete the task and carry the Brenderup home. No lasting damages to anything. No actual damage to the trailer. It was just tired. So before we start a kitchen reno, it was time to do the trailer reno. Just about done and I ran out of allen head bolts. Waiting on an order that should come in the next couple of days. I think we'll have a completed trailer this weekend.I'd be very interested in seeing the damage....very unfortunate that it happened.
Looks good!After the winter months, I discovered one of the tires was flat. After some close inspection on both tires, I saw cracks in between the threads. Found some 175/R13 one trailer.com and raised the trailer bed by 2” using 2” steel square tube as spacers. I also replaced the spare tire to match the new tire sizes.
