you should be able to get new bearings for the hub without too much trouble. maybe speak to your nearest MCEA mobile engineer (google MCEA and you'll find the website).

good luck

How do I find out the year it was made?

I think you'd need to get a trailer specialist to look at it to be honest, better to be safe than sorry.

Year will usually be on the plate somewhere on the drawbar, on earlier ones it's in a box marked "annee" or on later ones part of the serial number.. as they were only made up till about 1990 the number should be fairly obvious i.e. 2 of the numbers starting with an 8 e.g. ********86******. I suggest you join one of the Rapido Groups online either on Facebook or Aimoo

owning a rapido confort is not about all the problems but about the solutions
