Berger:
Let me ask this gently. What is the engineering reason
you are doing this? What handling (or other perceived)
problem are you trying to solve? I find it had to imagine
any problem so bad that you would willing give up the front
third of your Airstream trailer and perform extensive
remanufacturing of the front third to solve it. Yes, the
axle can be removed. But why?
Curious,
