Galvanized Panel Behind the Fresh Water Tank

[Dan Hen]

The Vertical galvanized panel located behind the fresh water tank under the trailer had 4 of the 5 bottom screws pulled through the panel, put some fender washers over the holes and all is well. I was under the trailer lubing the shackles and mine has grease fitting on the center bolt, up insides between the vertical mount, a 90 degree grease fitting and just checking all other stuff under the trailer like the springs for cracks, long trip coming up to Boston/ New York.

Regarding the panel you described......I had the same issue and did the same fix. Your pretty dawg-gone smart there!!!!

Regarding the grease fitting on the center equilizer bolt. Do you think it was there from the factory??? What year is your rig? rockin'

Tom Our trailer is an early 09 and the grease-able bolts came from the factory, surprising they all of the grease fittings take grease very easily, maybe because I have keep them greased regularly, the center bolt fittings are 90 degree and point to the rear.

Darn Dan,

You're my hero today! I went and looked at mine and I have the grease fittings to for the top equalizer bolt. It is hidden at the top of the equalizer inbetween the hangers. Mine was so happy to be greased!!! There was grease there from the factory so I don't think I hurt it for 6 months use.

Thanks again Dan......You are the real SKIA today!! rockin'

Thanks to all. I looked under my old wagon today and, sure enough, long neglected grease zerks are there waiting for the grease gun! They are happy now! Thanks again!
