    Location of low point drains I guess the factory forgot to put the label for the low point drains because my trailer does not have them. I figure I would ask the location before I climb under the trialer looking for them. Thanks John

    28bhs bumber

    Metal bumper I also thought of that issue on how durable the pvc type bumper are. They look nice but the moment anything hits it. I also heard that many people store the sewer hose inside the bumper so you dont have to store within the trailer.
