I have recently discovered there was a recall I was not made aware of on the lift system of this trailer. It is already documented here under number 05v364000 . However viking gives a story about who used to own the company and is now out of business etc, so now I'd have to pay for the repairs myself if I want the dangerous condition remedied.
