I have the standard single axle trailer that comes with the Hunter23. Has anyone added a second axle? If so, what was the approximate cost? How difficult/easy was it to do? Thanks Lee

Bent Axle

I am second owner of a 94 Hunter 23.5 that came with the original factory single axle trailer, which apparently could not support the weight, as the tires are sprawled out and the axile is bent. Going to attemt to straighten the original axile and add a second. in the past 4 yearsI've trailerd over 3000 miles in this condition and it was scary. It was said that hunter stopped using the single axile trailers after 1994, but not certain if this is true. Whatever, I'm going for doubles.

Forget the Original Axle

It is likely bending because it is rusting.
