Like Eric’s, my trailer has “bridged” its way around the west, at
least until I got bigger tires and wheels (Eric, get bigger tires and
wheels).

That would make the rear of the trailer too high for convenient rigging
with the trailer attached, something I commonly do when traveling with
the motorhome (the trailer's primary motive force). Removing it to rig
is a nuisance, especially since I need to reconnect it after rigging, so
my wife can retrieve or follow me, as needed.

A Cobra trailer dealer told me they are designed to be supported
entirely by the tail and the tongue without damage, so I don't think the
bridging causes the trailer any problems. I do have to replace the
aluminum tail skids every 100,000 miles.
