JUNE 2024 THE RIDER /19 Trailer Talk With Ryan Kent, owner, RMK Trailer Sales


Trailer Talk By Ryan Kent In our business we fre-


quently get asked about


trailer maintenance. This in- cludes brakes, tires, bear- ings etc. Customers really want to know what they can


do to keep the trailer in proper working order and safe.


Some topics are often


overlooked and not consid- ered maintenance. One of them is cleanliness. Now it may seem a little vain to some to hear that having a clean trailer is important, however it really is for two reasons. Number one is ap- pearance. When a truck and trailer look neat and tidy going down the road, the OPP and MTO enforcement units recognize that, and are less likely to bother check- ing out your rig. A well-


maintained trailer goes a long way in avoiding a has- sle.


The other reason is


protection. You spend a lot of money investing in a trailer. A small pressure washer and a scrub brush can keep the horse area spic and span. This is done to my trailers after every show. Also using good quality soap and an RV brush on the outside will keep the trailer shining. Don’t be afraid to have your trailer detailed and waxed or coated by a professional once a year ei- ther. This will help with UV

rays, road grime, winter weather, and just adds an- other layer of protection. If you want your trailer to last 30 years, you can do that by maintaining its cleanliness. There’s no excuse such as no time, because a two- horse trailer can be washed inside and out in about 20 minutes after a trip. So, hook up and enjoy


what the summer has to offer during this show sea- son, and be sure to keep the


soap and water handy. “Make sure you have a clean rig. That way you


leave home like a winner” Bob Avila
