Finally Got My Trailer!!!! - 4/11/2008 8:18:34 AM    hydrashocker Posts: 1789 Joined: 6/12/2005 Status: offline Ya,   So I bought a new trailer finally. It is a 26’ side power slide 2004 Salem!   Well the weight is 5,600 dry with a 661 tongue weight. It came from California so it has duel 5,000 lbs. axels. In other words it has the ability to handle up to 10,000 lbs. The D only goes to 7,300 lbs so I’ll need to be careful. I got the EQ 4 point hitch.   The thing is in flawless condition. It was used about 6 or 8 times and comes with everything. You say it and I’m sure it has it.   So I measured the D after hooking it up and I dropped 3” and so now I need to find some sort of overload. I’ve looked at a few but haven’t decided on one as of yet. I think I’m going to look more closely at the air bag setup.   The fresh water tank is toward the front and is 46 gal. Ya, even more weight on the tongue. Anyway I’ll post pic’s soon. _____________________________ 1998 Durango, 5.9L Built Motor Bored 20 Over, P&P Heads, K&N Ram Air CAI, MSD Ignition, 52MM Fastman TB, Built T-Case, Custom Built Trans, Air Bags, Magna Flow 3" Cat Back Exhaust On and On!

Anyway, congrats on your new trailer.  As long as I have a way to pull the quads I'm happy.
