==========================================

It must have taken years of careful analysis on your part to conclude
that aluminum trailers do not rust.

Good work, there may be a Nobel prize awaiting here.


That was unfair. Aluminum alloys do suffer from stress corrosion.
You need a penetration agent and UV light to scan for small cracks.
Still, an aluminum trailer can give very good service in salt or
fresh.
