The trailer was broke behind the 5th wheel plate. Ran chains from landing gear, used timber to support the trailer weight. Towed @ 80 miles to repair

Next time to make it easier on yourself hook one end of the chain to the front of the fifth wheel plate to the bottom of the landing gear. Use a binder to
tighten up the chain and you will then not need to block the trailer and will be easier on your back!!!!
