    Happiest Day of Ownership !!!

    That works but I have multiple trailers and, especially with my travel trailer, the Sherline is quick and easy. Have also used it on many of my friend's trailers.

    Electric over hydraulic brakes

    When I used to store my trailer outside, I put a plastic bag over the EOH unit throughout the rainy season. It was open at the bottom so it could breathe but kept the rain from hitting it.

    Need help diagnosing temperature problem on Volvo Penta 5.0 GL-J
