OMG!!! Please don't put this trailer on the highway. This guy needs to find another hobby before someone gets killed.

I know you got beat up on this trailer purchase and that is very, very unfortunate but, the question needs to be asked, why in the world would you purchase something like that sight unseen, not even some photographs, with no refund and no guarentee??
At least you noticed that it pulls poorly and all the shoddy workmanship. Just think, there's folk out there that would put a $15,000 pontoon on top of this thing and zing down the road at 70 mph with out batting an eye.

Go after him with all you got bud, and good luck, I hope you get your money back.

Sorry, but that is a piece of homemade crap and not very good crap at that. The welds I could see don't inspire confidence either. I don't know how far you are from him, but that's worth a road trip to apply an *** whipping.
Better luck next time, I feel your pain; had a similar problem with Cowboy Coaches in Texas on a car trailer. Half down ---- never delivered!!!

If cowboy coaches was anything like this outfit,you might be better off that it was never delivered!! I bet my dog coulda done better welds than I see on this thing!

As everyone on here has said those welds are pretty bad i would be embarrassed to put my name on it. Two thoughts on this 1. dlehmann good for you not using it and 2. how many people would see it and say to themselves well it looks crappy but the guy does this for a living. So ill just use it! there are to many people out there putting out work like this that puts everyone on the road in danger. Again kudos to you dlehmann for not just accepting it !

no significant reason to drag this up from the archives and not the original poster........ closed.
