Hi All

I bought a second hand caddy trailer to put all my camping equipment in. The owner said he never knew what the pressures were and I can't seem to find any website that has the pressures either. Its a caddy430

Can anyone help

Cheers

Glenn

I always thought that was just so you did not over do it. Should I just take it to the max then.

Hi again

75psi does seem a little too high and I have searched the net a bit with not much joy but as a suggestion I would keep it between 30-35psi, a lot will depend on how much you load in the trailer and what the tyre profile looks like under load

hope this helps

Andy

if the trailer is not to its max weight capacity you will find the trailer will bounce a lot and rattle
