Hey folks, got to thinking this morning about how so many trailers use identical or similar parts; having spent 9 years restoring a 1957 Buick, I became well acquainted with a magic book called Hollanders Interchange Manual. Hollanders is basically a cross reference book (series, really) listing pretty much every part for a lot of different cars and which other cars used the same part. It's something used a lot by junkyards and people crazy enough to want to restore vehicles that are difficult to find parts for. And I wondered, has anybody printed something like that for RV's and trailers? Anybody know?  |

Not just many trailers, but ALL trailers used the same parts. They just move them around from trailer to trailer. So there really is no need to cross reference trailer parts to trailers unless you are talking about Airstreams... Airstreams are a whole different animal and have parts unique to Airstreams.

OK, that explains it! I'm a newbie to trailers, I have to ask these questions so I don't embarrass myself too much in public. Thanks!
