That's exactly what I did and who I bought mine from as well. Most satisfied overall, not his fault I ran the tires bald. That's what happens when you use one.

I bought the "Escalade" a couple years ago and took it to Durango,Co to the owners event..I had the same trouble with the chains...I just squeezed them together with a channel locks and they never came off once there and back..

I'm not too crazy about these type hooks, they get clogged w/ dirt too easy, they stretch sometimes over time and get hard or impossible to open. :dontknow:






These usually work well, but over time the catch device may get rusted or bent.






I like galvanized chain or cable w/ marine shackles for strength and longevity.

Well I've only had it for a couple of years an so far so good. If it does get dirty:yikesr clogged:hun:, then I guess I can afford to replace it since it cost less than a tank of gas. That kind of takes care of the longevity issue as well.
To each his own.

There are a number of ways you can resolve the problem with the open hooks:

Quick Links
Spring Snaps
Quick Snaps
Chain Hooks w/ latches


A visit to the hardware store or a trailer shop will yield several solutions. I prefer the spring snaps.

170 lb empty for the 14 cu ft (which is what I bought).

The 18 cu ft weighs 190 lb empty.

My Update

Tonight, I received a call from the owner (Danny). Put him on speaker so he could address the few questions I had about his trailers. My wife was listening in on the conversation. (That was the idea!!!!) Danny is a very knowledgable guy. He knows his product. I think this is exactly what I needed to close the deal with my wife. Am I a bad person??? For all it's worth...I am still waiting for her to give me the "go ahead"!!! Keep your fingers crossed!! I'll keep you all updated. For those of you that said I should go ahead and make the purchase without getting the green light from her...how comfy is the bed in YOUR spare bedroom? That's what I'm dealing with. I'll just wait for her to say "yes" or "no". It tends to keep the home a little more happy(er). Happy wife, happy life!!

I've had my trailer for 3 years now and really like it except for the safety chain problem. I finally got one a set of these and it solved the problem. They are self coiling so they don't drag. $14.22 at Amazon. :thumbup:

That is great, thanks for the post.

Another cure for the hooks coming out is to have the hooks facing the opposite way. The ends facing back not forward like in the original picture. Since my son pointed this out to me I haven't had any problems on trailer. Nice trailer congrats.
