Water accumulating in trailer guide posts.

Post by Crocus26X »

I discover that both of the vertical guide posts on my trailer had a lot of water in them which was causing rust inside the pipes. The water came out as black as india ink when I drilled drain holes. Besides the rusting another hazard is that freezing could split the pipe.
