Could Single Axle Trailer Fender # CE18041ATB be Reinforced to Support Weight
Question:
My trailer has thin aluminum fenders and my friend keep sitting on them. They look like great seats. But they are so flimsey that when a big guy sits on them, they bend up. They are all bent and floppy now. Can my fat friends sit or stand on these? Standing on the fender is handy when you are tieing down loads, etc.

Expert Reply:
If you used strong enough brackets when installing the Single Axle Trailer Fender # CE18041ATB they'd be strong enough to support people of all shapes and sizes. These don't have a specific weight capacity but they are pretty strong. Normally we recommend the brackets part # CE26098G-2 for each fender installed like the picture I attached. You might install several of these brackets.
