Dam your covered.

We have all the extra gear we keep at our place up Nth along with common parts.  In the simpler days we've changed more than one piston in the garage.

At this point with 10k on that ‘21, I’m bringing a spare sled, hence the need for the trailer recently… electric impact, full tool kit, two spares (need to buy the new size when I find another) and a case of injector oil - never know when you’ll get “stuck” up north for an extra 5-700 mile week over the planned 12-1500!  😂

Both my sled trailers have small tires.

There is far less shake in the one trailer after I put beads in the tires.

Got half my trailers done with beads, soon to be all.

Both hubs were replaced two summers ago - this is/was a tire issue.  Yes the trailer needs a bath but the tire simply came apart from running over something or age.

Definitely a tire defect.  Not trailer bearings or anything like that.

Is that aluminum frame right up against the steel axle? I don’t see any barrier between them unless it’s fallen out?

yep...

“Galvanic corrosion this means that aluminum, steel and any trace of water which isn't distilled starts corroding the aluminum.”
 
 
Seems like a poor design by the trailer manufacturer. They should have had something in between them other than just relying on the paint on the axle that blows off after a few uses.
