    Default Karavan Boat Trailer with a Lowe 175 Stinger question


    I had to have new tires put on the boat trailer and when I went to pick it up the gent informed me that my axle is off center about an inch. Without a blueprint of the trailer I don't have the dimensions. Called Karavan and they don't release blueprints on their trailers.

    Would any you local guys around Sand Springs have the same trailer that I could come and take a few measurements? Just need to figure out which side is off or is the whole axle it's self needs to be completely aligned.Attachment 423228Name:  20220328_115623.jpg

    From the look of the spacing of that wheel in the fender. It looks to be off towards the right side of the photo. You could measure that from the ball coupler back to the tire on both sides and see if the measurement is the same

    I agree or take to a competent welder and he can fix it. Jack is correct.

    Actually a welder is going to fix it. First thing he did was measure from the coupler and then measured the space between the bolts on the springs. It is just about 1" off.
    He said it'll be a quick and easy fix.
