Good Morning All, Hoping Larry will chime in on this one.

I had a new Continental Trailer manufactured for my 1971 21 Ribside. I ordered it as follows (per the recommendation of Jim D who gave me Larry's setup info he had);
Trailer - CTV944-72B
3x4 Tongue
2x4x5' bunks - although they delivered full size bunks - dealer cut down to 7 foot as 5 didn't seem feasible based on crossmember spacing
14" tires and wheels
2 axle disc brakes
Straight crossmembers
All 12" Stoltz rolllers with Stainless Steel Shafts
All SS hardware.

Here is a picture of my new trailer.

I swapped trailers this morning - Had to do it on land as my existing trailer had a broken rear crossmember and was not road worthy. The problem I am having is this - The keel rollers are all the way down - The bunks are all the way up but there is a gap above the bunks. I could move them in towards the center more but the advise is to keep them out for balance. Here are the pictures. Thoughts?

Rollers - excuse the dirt - she is a project
