Years ago borrowed a trailer from a friend. Needed it for 600 mile round trip. 200 miles from home, tire blew, no spare tire. I now take a spare tire for 5 mile round trip to put the boat in or out. Failure to prepare means you are prepared to fail! Great advice!
My first utility trailer didn't come with a spare tire. I paid the extra $100 for the spare tire and mount before I left with the trailer. I only needed to use it twice, but both times, I was miles away from home.
I happen to have a 5 on 5 but accidentally purchased a 5 on 4.5 spare rim. Found out 300 miles away from home on a Sunday evening outside of Marshall TX, with my tractor loaded on it while I was moving from TX to OH. There was nobody open or that wanted to come out.
Recently traded our 5th wheel RV to a bumper pull TT. Never really considered a hitch lock for the 5th wheel. but you got my interest for a lock for our new TT. Thanks
A topic that would be great, identify cheap or "overseas" par5s equipment to stay away from. Bearings, axle hubs, tires, brakes... They really have infiltrated our market. Safety...
It’s actually a fabricated, weld-on mount. It was installed in manufacturing. I’m not the biggest fan of the bolt on mounts, I prefer to use the fabricated, welded version. Thanks for watching and for the comment!
I agree with having a spare, however I believe the trailer manufacturer should provide one.. Instead of being so cheap, provide one. Instead they want to charge you extra, 400+ for a spare. Just my thoughts. At least the RVs have spares... thanks for the information.

Great thought! Unfortunately, I’ve learned the hard way, too. Thanks for watching!

It’s good to protect your investment. Thanks for watching!
And make sure that your trailer lug nuts match the nuts holding on the spare tire. (in my case, also same as my tow vehicle)
Great point!
I have two tandems, an 18 and a 12 foot. I have 2 spares on each trailer. Seen too many trailers where a blown tire takes out the one next to it.
Never a bad idea to cover all your bases!
I bet that if your kids lied to you, they would only do it once. You don't play. I like you and your style
I have TWO spare tires on my Aliner camper tongue.
Sounds like you have your bases covered! Thanks for watching!
Great list. Agree w/ your #1. This was a good back to basics video for new trailer owners.
Thanks for watching! The feedback is much appreciated!

Rv’er. 2 spare tires. Ask me why. 😂
Ha! I have learned the hard way to make sure I have backups for my backups! 2 spare tires is never a bad idea when hauling an rv!
Which spare tire mount is that?

Everything costs money. The profit margins in the trailer industry are incredibly tight, I doubt we will see them throw in a spare tire for free.
They will not add a spare because of the profit of selling it at an additional nearly 500 vs 200 +/- from the factory.
Please rename your channel "TrailerCommercial". or just waste of time.
Just report it as mass advertising and be done.
Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll keep it under consideration. 👍
The title says trailer "accessories" I believe the other films have lots of interesting information.
