Pop up spring over and tires......

Though i'm sure it's holdin' on, look at the u-bolt plate. Seems bent due to torque applied. In my mind, this means you need thicker plate. JMHO.

Sadly, it is but wishful thinking to believe that these trailers will survive more than a few miles of washboards or rough roads, lift notwithstanding...

I thought this way for the longest time , but now I dont know . I went through all the cheezy cabinets and hit all the seams with construction adhesive or silicone sealant ( depending where it was) I also installed more fasteners in missed and new locations with Gorilla glue. In the bigger gaps like around the appliances I hit them with expandable foam , all these little things really firmed things up!
With shocks on the way and a little frame reenforcement I think it will do ok.

In a week I will drag the thing through DV! so we will see.....

I also added corner blocks on our first trailer to make the cabinets tougher.

You might want to add some gussets on the frame intersections. I had to repair one trailer because of breaks in the frame.

I still need to do those two mods to our Pop-up.

Gret job on th SOA. I did a SOA conversoin on my 88 Coleman Williamsburg. Made a huge difference. I like to camp off the pavement. Pop ups are a great way to do it and be very comfortable.
