Maintenance and Storage
Hitch and Tow Bar Maintenance
Store trailer indoors if possible. Do not use or store trailer at temperatures below 32˚F (0°C), as the hitch flex connector can become brittle and possibly break, causing an accident resulting in serious injury.
Fabric Care
Hand wash fabric parts with mild soap or detergent and warm water. For heavy soiling, use a nylon bristle brush. Do not use bleach. Polyester fabric will eventually fade, especially when exposed to direct sunlight. Wipe dry (to help avoid mildew) and store out of direct sunlight in a dry, well ventilated area, or use a Burley Trailer Storage Cover to protect your trailer. Replace any damaged parts.
