Air trapped in frame
But.....maybe trailer is so light that the four tires float it
Possible
I'll start making Steve sit on the rear of the trailer when I back it down. He's the type of friend that will do anything to help.
You did the right thing Scott. You don't need to put it in the water too deep. The Tandom axle on an 18'er will float some from the tires, and I've seen that happen on a steel trailer too. The frame has holes in it from the light wires etc, but you can go under the side rail of the frame and add a few holes to bleed the trapped air in the frame faster. Don't think it will help a great deal, but might help some.
My single axle doesn't float, just need to air down your tires before ya back in!!! I'll tell ya, they're light, and super nice.
I just ordered a galvanized offset spare tire holder from BPS. The weight of it and a spare tire and wheel, mounted just ahead of the fender, should add enough weight to stop the floating.
Most all the bolt on tire carriers are galvanized these days. They work and hold up really well. Never had an issue with um.
