Your dealer can't possibly know if it's totaled, the insurance company has to say that. You said insurance hasn't gotten back to you, then you say the dealer said it was totaled. Which is it ?
Yeah they can if they did the estimate, my estimate says its a total total loss! The labor alone will cost more than I paid for the trailer new and is actually more than the original MSRP. But you're right it's not officially totaled until my insurance company says it is. I'm waiting to hear back from them! How hard is it for you guys to understand that.
Let's go over what we don't understand.
1. Some providers will pay more than the trailer is worth to fix it.
2. A dealer can't determine if it's a write off loss
3. How the hell do we know if it's totaled if we can't see it.
4. If someone hit you, then you may be entitled to a fix even if you don't use your own insurance, regardless of the cost, I've even done it on my motorcycle, ND I know Geico does it on trailers.
5. You have absolutely no idea as to what even haooened.
6. It sounds like you're just having a bad time with it and you're pissed off, rightfully so, but support forums are for support. With no data, we can't give an answer
7. You asked an unsanswerable question
Hope that helps
None of those have to do with what the OP asked. He simply asked if he should be hoping for a total or not, pros and cons.
My answer is it depends if the trailer is exactly what you wanted and is hard find. Replacing with a new one may cost you extra cash or end up with a less desireable unit. If not attached to that trailer, I'd hope for a total because repaired may never be as good as new.
