using that flat repair in a can crap will screw up tire...cant patch a tire with that crap in there and if you decide to use a plug there useless to for any long term piece of mind...all in all bad idea...that's why you carry a spare

Actually flat repair does neither wreck a tire or screw it up. I used it last year going into Grizzly Lodge and it held just fine, used it all the way home to the coast then took the tire to my buddy at Big-o-tire and they patched it up fine. And on my single deck trailer I got a flat going into the shulaps this summer and we used a plug to fix it, been fine ever since...it is all how you do it, the stuff works. If I do use the flat repair I use it to get out of a situation and then fix the tire at a later date, and you are right I would still always have a spare...cheers dave

also make sure your rear superclamp is into a structural part of the trailer, not just the ply wood!

The plugs were all they use to use back in the day. As mentioned if done properly they work just fine. I've ran tires with plugs for years! Now they have patches for this inside of the tire. I was told by a tire shop they can't use the plugs anymore??? Didn't think the plug kits were even available any more. Where did you find the plug kit? Definitely a must have.

Plugs can work fine. I got a screw in my tire in the Yukon at work. Got a plug job by the guy at the tire place in destruction bay, worked great the rest of the winter

YES to this! I get either an extra piece of wood or a square flat piece of aluminum to spread out the tension from underneath, works brilliantly!

Canadian Tire carries them, we also use them in trials rear tubeless tires if we get a flat...I get the extra tube of rubber cement and before you push the rubber piece into the tire put a bunch all over it, it helps seal the deal!

Good video.. Did a twice over on my enclosed this morning making sure it's top notch for the upcoming season... Used a 1/4" roll of electrical tape doing the same thing - trying to secure as much of the wiring as i could.. Tested my break away as well, pull the cable and give the trailer a tug to ensure brakes were locked up.

I wanna see a picture of the shaggin wagon pulling this trailer... Looked like a big ford..

Thought I was the only guy around here that knew where D-Bay was lol.

Very good point about not knowing about a tire going flat on your trailer , I have a 38 foot tri-axle enclosed , I install the remote valve stem pressure sensors that sends an alarm to the monitor in the truck cab if any of the trailer tire pressure fails.

That is a very cool system!!

Do you not have to disconnect the trailer from the pulling unit before pulling the cable for the emergency brake test ???? I heard it sends electricty the wrong way if you don't.

 

[tipper]

nope. that's how cvse tests.

Another thing I'd add is sweeping snow off trailer decks and giving all your lights a wipe to maintain visibility for those traveling behind you.

check your trailer brake battery if you have one. Can cause a lot of issues not to mention a ticket. I also had a brake issue on my enclosed, the damn brake pad material came off of the shoe, jamming the tire.
