Q. What screwdriver bit do I use for the eight-point screw heads?

Q. How do I add shelves and where are the studs in my trailer?
A. The vertical supports or studs are located on 16” or 24” centers dependent on the model. They can be seen or located using the screw pattern on either the interior or exterior of the trailer. Keep in mind that they are steel or aluminum so you will require a self-threading screw. The wall cavity on some models is only 1” deep so keep that in mind when selecting a screw length.
Q. If I have a flat tire where do I locate the jack?
A. Once your trailer is securely locked and cannot roll you can locate the jack either near the axle on the front to rear running main frame rail of the trailer or directly under the axle beam if safely accessible.
