I got one of these 20 years ago. Here are my suggestions (which of course may be out of date):
- do something to prevent the nuts from just vibrating loose at the pivot points. Buy Nylock nuts, use thread locker, weld them, or whatever (it looks like maybe HF has done this for at least some of the nuts?)
- the lights use the frame as a ground connection. This is sketchy at best, and hopeless at the hinges. Either run a separate ground wire to each light from the plug, or at least a jumper wire from the front to back half to bypass the hinges.
- replace the flimsy office chair casters with sturdy casters -- although maybe HF has already made this design change?
- get a couple of those reflectors on 4' plastic stalks that people put next to their driveways, mount them in short pieces of 2x4 and stick them in the brackets at the back of the trailer. This makes your trailer much more visible in traffic and easier to back up, as well as providing comic relief to other drivers as they flap back and forth in the wind.

terrible to back up and the Load B tires are speed rated for 45mph, so you need to replace them with the better load C ones right away if you hit the interstates

What mechanism did you install that I saw you hinging around to latch the back in the front of the trailer together so that it would stand up right and not fall down

I tried this method and the trailer flipped over the other direction. Not sure what I did wrong.
