Patent number: 6663130Abstract: A pontoon trailer travel kit minimizes transverse spaces between a pontoon boat trailer and the pontoons of a pontoon boat. The kit comprises a bunk bracket that is mountable to and adjustable along a lift arm of the trailer. A bunk assembly is fastened to and is adjustable on the bunk bracket in directions perpendicular to the directions of adjustment of the bunk bracket. A kit is installed on a lift arm on each side of the trailer. The kits are pre-set such that the bunk of each bunk assembly is in close proximity to a pontoon. The boat is substantially prevented from sliding laterally on the trailer. In a modified embodiment, only the bunk assembly is used, and it is clamped directly to the trailer lift arm. That embodiment is used with boats in which the pontoons are exceptionally closely spaced to each other.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2002Date of Patent: December 16, 2003Assignee: Karavan Trailers, Inc.Inventor: Douglas A.

Patent number: 5816616Abstract: A fender having an arcuate section and integral steps is mounted to a trailer frame. The fender arcuate section has a recessed pad. The steps are reinforced with ribs. A pair of fender brackets each having a horizontal center plate are secured to the trailer frame using bolts. The fender step ribs are placed on the fender bracket center plates and fastened thereto from under the fender brackets in a manner that hides the fasteners from normal view. The fender steps have cutouts that receive the bolts. The trailer spring hangers are sandwiched between the trailer frame and the fender brackets in a manner that enables the spring hangers and the fender brackets to be adjustably positioned on the trailer frame independently of each other.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 1996Date of Patent: October 6, 1998Assignee: Karavan Trailers, Inc.Inventor: Scott A.
