Hi from Colorado

New to forum, just bought a new/used SC191T. Been out several times and love the trailer. Just have a couple of questions. This is a single axel and I am unsure how the trailer will react if a blow-out happens. Had new 6ply tires installed before a trip to NH in 2 months. Next is moisture under the bed hinge. I understand this is a problem with hybrids and there are 2 companies that make products that allow air flow under the mattresses. I tried contacting both several times (DryMesh in Ct and hydra something out of the country) and have not had any response from either. Must be out of business. Anyone have a suggestion?
Thanks to all

Well sorry that I'm not going to be able to answer your specific questions, I'm sure someone will be able to help. But just wanted to welcome you to the forum from a fellow Coloradan.

Thanks to all for the warm welcome. We are planning a trip to HN next month and planning on taking our SC191t. I'm a little concerned about the drive and handling of the trailer as it is a single axle. Had a little scare two months ago when we tried to go to Kansas. Ended up fishtailed in the middle of I70 and totaled our popup. Any suggestions would be helpful.

It would help if you posted what tow vehicle you have and its specs.
Also what WDH/sway control you have.

Thanks for the response Dan. We tow with a ford Exposition with the 5.4. We had a bar type sway bar on the old trailer and I installed the same on the new one. Tensions were correct as well as the tire pressure. Even the State Police was at a loss. As y

As you can guess, I'm a little gun shy. I'm not new to towing and several thousand miles under my belt with popups and 5th wheels, but not sure handle a small hybrid.

I was looking at a single axle trailer before we got the 192T which is dual axle.
The first thing I was going to get, if we went with a single axle, was those "no blow" or "slow blow" type tires. I didn't do much research as we decided on the 192T rather quickly, but someone suggested that to me for a single axle.
