Hello everyone. 2006 Champion 203 with trailer that came with it(5 years old). Noticed trailer would clunk when taking off. Replaced shock in toungue, no big deal, figured I would bleed the brakes for good measure. Found brake line from master cylinder to rear flex line rusted all the way down and leaking in 3 places. Anyone else with this issue? If not check your brake lines on your trailers so noone has brake failure. Just glad I caught it before its too late.

I replaced my brake line twice as it sat inside the trailer tubing just rusting away, I finally ran the line down the inside part of the trailer frame and used some rubber coated 1 eye clips to hold the line on the inside of the frame, I should have done that or checked into a flex type brake line for the application the first time the line rusted out. My 2000 MFI trailer is rusting out badly, looks like I need to fire up the grinder and the welder this winter to see if I can save it.
My '96 model brake lines are still original& look very good.
