Every time I go to hook one up to my car, I wind up needing to re-run all of the wiring. And not just in the trailer.
This time, mice chewed through the wiring which runs along the inside of the bar which connects to the hitch. I couldn't see the damage until it was too late. Went to test the lights, and blew not only the fuse, but some sort of active box on my Subaru which allows multiple connector types. Of course this thing costs a pretty penny, and has a harness which runs from the trunk, up all sorts of inconvenient places, and finally up to near the fuse box under the dash.
Previously I loaned it out, and the person pulled forward with the trailer tipped up (it is a small dumper) so the wiring got caught on the ground and ripped out. Nobody noticed until I went to use it.
Yay.
Another beautiful weekend day wasted. This is a result of loaning my lawn mower to the church for a few weeks while we figure out what to do with the mower that died. I want my mower back, and cannot get it. No good deed...
It has been 4 weeks almost, and my lawn is not looking so tidy anymore.
