Yeah, it's surprising how shoddily these things are built.
Anyway, no pictures but last night the siding was put back on the lower portion, I sorted out all the trailer light wiring, and the water system was hooked back up and tank filled.
The outside lighting was a mess. Someone put one of those converters in for vehicles that have separate turn signals on the trailer side, and all the rear clearance lights were disconnected. I got it all sorted out and now have functioning lights.
As far as plumbing goes, thus far, I need one new line for the hot water heater and a seal kit for the water pump (both leak slightly when at pressure). The fresh water tank is in the front of the trailer so it accounts for the tongue weight that I need (37 gallon tank is quite a bit) and when it's filled, it tows much, much better. Made a trip to town and back, about 14 miles or so. Prior to having it filled there is maybe 150 LBS of tongue weight.
