Maybe add a leather patch on the exterior side?

Maybe switch the nuts out for some low profile cap nuts? https://www.mcmaster.com/nuts/cap-nuts/low-profile-cap-nuts/

On my list . The cap nuts will still rub but will take longer to wear holes in the canvas.

According to Mark, that is not correct. I'm not sure since, the bracket is beveled for the hex head , reversing it might not tighten up correctly

I finally got rid of the alloy wheels on the trailer.
I replaced them with Unique 297 P/N 52201 wheels. Not only only a better looking wheel but it has normal lug nuts . Now I can use a four way wrench on it and not have to rely on a locking key.
The spacer (stock) is definitely needed as it spaces out the tire from the large suspension bolt pictured below.

The door is 100% the reason that I did not purchase it. It's also easy to bump head and frankly, just in the way. I wish that would be fixed as I'd otherwise buy it in a heartbeat.

Being able to go to a RV dealer and buy a trailer is great. Mark has a great business plan. As for the "covid issue" , it is best to do your own research rather than rely on the media and the government. You might find things are not what you have been lead to believe.
My wife and I recently finished a 62 day 8,000 miles trip. We traveled the Utah backcountry Discover Route , about 700 off road miles. WE also went through Wyoming, and spent about three weeks in Montana in some remote areas fly fishing. We traveled back through Idaho , Utah , NM and home.
The amount of people on the road is amazing. If you go to free states you will not find the hysteria found in other places. Stay away from Bozeman MT which is mostly California people anyway. Stay out of New Mexico as well.
I really like the large water tank. Although, full it adds weight, it was nice to be able to take frequent showers in the heat. My wife would like like camping as much as she now does if it was not for the Mission Overland trailer.
Hopefully you get your new trailer soon and get back out there.
