What malfunctions appear when starting to operate Kurgan trailers products. We started running in the Universal Plus trailer. The task is to drive a distance of 400 km from Yekaterinburg to Serov empty, and return with a load of 550 kg back to Yekaterinburg from Serov. One of the tests is a test of the updated 2020 Niva on AI-92 gasoline. I was interested in how the car would drive with a trailer on this fuel. Compared to AI-95, the consumption has not changed at all. It remained about 9.4 l / 100 km at an average speed of 82 km / h. But this is when we were driving empty. After loading, the consumption remained the same, but the average speed decreased by 4 km / h. and amounted to 76 km / h. The most interesting thing is the traction of the car on 92nd gasoline. It became a little lower. About 4% sank. There were moments when I could hardly accelerate to 110 km/h on straight sections. I remember it was easier with 95th gasoline with the same load. There was even a small power reserve. As for breakdowns and malfunctions, the main fear concerned the trailer wheel hubs, they both heated up to the melting point of wax. Perhaps this is how it should be, but I have not had this in my experience. If anyone has encountered such a moment, then please share. Another breakdown is the trailer lighting. It seems that the bulbs on Kurgan trailers are a weekly consumable. How it infuriates me. They need to be checked before each trip and during any stop. WELL, and the third jamb of these trailers is an additional row of springs, which gradually shifts from the spring pads and goes to the side, thereby damaging the trailer frame and fenders.
