Should I air down the tires on my trailer like I do on my truck when I'm driving on bad dirt roads.
Has anyone here done that before

yes you should - makes the trailer less bouncy
go down about 1/3 of normal

however, on trailers carrying a heavy load you might need max tire pressure to maintain the load carrying capacity of the tires

The problem is as to airing down too much is that there just some breaks in the main road where you go on dirt (mostly where the bridges washed out)...and the dirt is not THAT bad...but then you get back up onto the blacktop with squishy tires. Unless you're going past Gonzaga you won't hit long pockets of dirt where airing down will make any difference to your "bounce"...but you probably should a little. It's really not that bad and the pangeros tow through there all the time and let's just say their equipment may not be state of the art.
