Good Morning from a hot Southern Illinois! Hope your rides include shade and your travels include back roads and horses...
This post is just to let you know that, although I'm not directly involved with horses and trailers any longer, I'm still the engineer and tinker who put all these ideas together and I get calls for assistance often.
The phone is the quickest way to reach me... I don't always see emails as quickly as I would like.
Travel safe and let's keet the Brenderups on the road!

Safety Brake Trip Wire fix
... now I have a new question(thanks goodness for your blog!). Someone took the clip at the end of my safety cable(the one attached to the emergency hand brake)and in doing so, shredded some of the cable wires so I think I need to replace the whole thing. It appears that I can bend the hook attached to the brake itself and take the whole thing off...what would you replace it with? I'm guessing Ace hardware in Davis may carry wire cable but I would need to find a way to hook it at one end and attache it to the hitch on the other. K. B.
Thanks for asking,,,
I'll bet that clip came unhooked and was drug a
few miles... Go to a farm supply store (Ace or Rural King or Tractor
Supply) and seek help. They sell the wire cables, fasteners to create a
loop in the cable, 'caribeener' clips to replace the missing one. You
should at least add a few inches of cable so that it doesn't become too
short and bind when making turns or something... if that trips the
brakes your trailer will stop on a dime.

My daughter didn't have the hitch secured and the
trailer came unhitched on a railroad crossing. The system worked and
stopped the trailer. Then they had to replace that "trip-wire"
altogether.
Glad I could help again!

Hi Jeff,
My name is Jackie and I am writing you from Springfield, Kentucky.
I bought a Brenderup about three years ago. I have notice that the outside surface is getting black and really looks bad. I was wondering if you might have
any suggestions or know where I can look to help to correct this.
Best Wishes,
Jackie

Hi, Jackie! Thanks for writing.
I use car wash detergent and a Mister Clean Magic Eraser. Hose the loose stuff off. Maybe at a car wash hand held sprayer, and then go over the entire trailer with erasers. I like the ones with the blue backing... they last longer. I do the windows and everything with the erasers. They don't leave scratches but you want to rinse them if they bet grit in them.
Ours is about 10 years old and looks like new.
Send pics, before and after, if you can.
Travel safe!
Jeff
