The record at the top of this page is the 282TESP from 2021. The maker’s own documents for earlier model years also list the 282TESP, and those 2 years are, each from its own brochure printed here: 2019 to 2020. The figures change from year to year, so check the year on the trailer’s own label. A field a year’s brochure does not print reads “Not published” and is never filled from another year.
