At 25 mph the flat tire starts smoking, so i slow to 20 and I get there just fine.
I took some pictures and will post.
Nice benefit to having the dual axle trailer. Got the new dual axle trailer with stainless brakes and brake lines.

Any idea whether the flapping fender caused the flat?...whether it did or not, it's generally a good idea to have parts and other things SECURE on your trailer prior to towing it down a public road...it could have caused problems for others as well...
That having been said...guess what'll happen to me next tow...
