    I bent the tongue tube on my Kendon style USA trailer. Didn't realize it was bent until pulling it out to show a buyer. I towed it that way 150 miles and never noticed it. Do you guys think it can be bent back and not effect the integrity of it. If so, any ideas on how to bend it back? Thanks.
    Bent it by backing it up with nothing loaded so I couldn't see it. And forgot it was there. Old man syndrome. Jack Knifed it backing up against the car bumper.

    Yea, definitely picture of it to see how far out it is. Probably isn't going to be a huge deal with such a small trailer just to bend it back if it's only a little off or just don't do anything with it.

    Hard to tell from the pics but is that center tube welded to the others? If not, remove and replace?
