Re: [RC] Noisy Ponderosa Trailer - Tina Rushing

The one thing I really don't like, however, is that this particular

trailer, a Ponderosa, is really REALLY noisy. Any solutions anyone?

Is the noise caused by banging and rattling dividers?  I had an inexpensive
trailer, bought new, that was very noisy.  I was able to reduce much of the
noise by making rubber (neoprene?) shims and using them as "bumpers" on the
divider pins, including the removable divider between the horse area and the
walk-in tack area.   With the dividers snugged up and cushioned it was MUCH
improved.  The material was scavenged, original use unknown.  Shims were
still effective after 7 years (trailer sold).  Cheap and easy.  If you're
not a pack-rat and don't have any scavenged rubber cached in your garage
check the plumbing supply section for commercial products (washers?) that
might do the same job.
