Doug,

You should be able to get a whole axle for that thing from some place like Harbor Frieght for no more than 60-70 bucks. I know that trailer you have isn't very heavy and should have a pretty light duty axle. 4 bolts later and you should be able to replace it by yourself. A man of your physical stature should have no problem doing it yourself.

Stay where you are, don't talk to any strangers, keep the doors locked, I can be there in about 2 weeks.

Dude, that sucks. Are you on your way to Key Largo?

Doug, I would love to help, i have done a few axle changes before. They are not fun but not that hard either.

If you have a tool kit with you you should be able to fix it with a new axle from the previously mentioned place.

Got 2000 lbs axle to replace the 1000 lbs that was one it. if you are ever in Baton Rougue and break down like me, PLEASE contact Herb;s Trailer and Platt off I-110 North. Bob went the extra mile fro me and stayed late to build me a new axle and work around the money I had left. Off to new job on Elmwood Friday. Lee Harbour did not have them here. Thanks anyway and miss you guys.

You could have done what our crew did on the way to Spring Fever a couple years ago. Double stack onto another trailer, disassemble the broken trailer, then throw it on the roof of the car. Roll up to the campground at 3 AM and you've got all weekend to fix it. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Glad it worked out for you Doug.
