Man, im sorry to hear of your troubles. Not fun being stuck but at least your not on the side of the freeway!.
I just got back from a 16 hr + trip with an untested trailer not knowing how it wa going to work out. I had replaced one axle. Replaced all the bearings on put newer used tires on it. But hadnt ever pulled it with a load and no more than about 20 miles. The last two hrs of my trip were along a narrow winding road along a river and with all the rain /snow there where numerous rock slides and boulders in the road. Then at the end of that is about a 2500-3000 ft climb out at about a 7-8% grade. I was a bit nervous but didnt have any problems other that dragging the dang dovetail through any little dip or gutter...
