After I bought a new one from Trail-Rite, I rebuilt my old trailer. I did a strip and paint and replaced the axle, fenders, coupler, lights and just about everything else on it. Total cost came to around $2,500 not including anything for my time. I got the axle and some other parts from Trail-Rite and the coupler and a bunch of other stuff from Pacific Trailers.

Pacific Trailers was a really good resource, and has just about anything you could need to get an old trailer back to roadworthy status. http://www.pacifictrailers.com/

:: Look around any boat yard and most owners usally

:: have used.
::
:: Valleyfabrication.com in Salinas builds and repairs
:: farms equipment and can cut out all the bad metal and
:: replace it with new as well as sandblast and paint the
:: entire trailer on site. KKMI has a welding shop in the
:: back but you will need to supply the metal.

:: johnsonassociates.net is less then 5 miles away has all
:: the trailer parts; a new trailer heads is about $125.00.
:: You can purchase the entire axel or just replacement
:: parts and they can do the installation as well. I
:: purchase new fenders for about $25 each.
::
:: It takes about 4 hours and a gallons and a quart to
:: paint the trailer.

:: There are several Products designed to cover bare rusted
:: “Por 15” has excellent reviews and runs about $150.00 a
