thought i'd share my trailer gutters with you guys. i've owned this trailer for 17 years and am on my 3rd set of torsion axles. i get about 8 years out of them. they fail where the angle bracket attaches to the tube of the axle. i noticed when i pull out, the carpet drips on the axle for quite a while. i split a piece of 6" pvc and screwed it to the bottom of the bunk to divert the water off the axle.
will it help, who knows, but it can't hurt.
also replaced my "carpet" on the front bunks. these signs work great, virtually bullet proof, and slippery when wet. also more "cushion" that carpet. plus they don't hold water
