ISO Trailer selection advice

One more comment on bearings.
I built a small cargo trailer twenty years ago. It has never traveled very far, but hauled building materials from the home store, rock and dirt for landscaping, ran stuff a 100 miles to my mom and dad, hauled a motorcycle a few miles when the roads were now covered. Anyway, my wife and I went to Missouri last fall and she was watching the weather. It looked like the day we were leaving had a lot of rain coming. Mama cautioned that she didn't want to ride in rain for hundreds of miles at 65 degrees and recommended towing the RT. I rolled my trailer into the shop and repacked the wheel bearing, mounted new tires, (it still had the original tires on it that were used when I got the second hand axle), checked over the lights and bolted in a wheel chock. The wheel bearings looked like new and well greased and it was the first time in twenty years that they had been serviced.
We did hit rain, torrential rain, for a few hours! I think it was traveling the same direction we were! Mama was warm and happy, snoozing in the passenger seat of the car.
