Anyone make a "decent" enclosed trailer?

Thanks for your suggestions and comments.....DJ

No need to sell it. unless you simply want a white one.
Any brand cargo trailer is going to have variations in the panels when it gets hot, but it's less pronounced on a white trailer.

Your trailer looks really nice. I haven't seen or heard of that brand - so it must not be sold at any dealers in Washington.
In Washington, the primary trailer brands are:
Continental Cargo (a Forest River co) (they make several lines - entry level to fancier)
CargoMate
Carry-On (all the ones I've seen, I thought were low-end)
Wells Cargo
Haulmark
Stealth (sold at the same dealer as Wells Cargo and Haulmark - Freeway Trailers in Fife, WA
Interstate (low end as well as fancier models)

I have owned a Pace American 6x12 white enclosed trailer for 11 years. Never had this issue at all.

Ditto.

I'm on my 4th cargo trailer.

My first one was purchased in 1993 and was dark blue, Wells Cargo brand. I had it 17 years. The siding warped a bit in the extreme heat, but went back to normal in the cool temps. It never pulled out the screws - siding was fine, it never developed a problem in the 17 years I owned it.

Semi-trailers are similar - though usually the siding is riveted - I observed that today while driving and having a few semis pass me.

I replaced the 1993 trailer in 2010 with a 6x12 Wells Cargo Road Force. It was white, siding was screwed in place, it never developed a problem. I sold it last year after concluding I needed a bigger trailer for the purposes I used that one for.

For a short time in 2012 I had a 5x8 Wells Cargo FasTrac (sp?)
It had screwed on siding. I only had that trailer 5 months. During that time period, I re-thought my trailer needs and bought the 8.5x20 and kept the 6x12 and sold the 5x8.

The only trailer I have left is an 8.5 x 20 Haulmark Edge Race style Trailer - similar to the one Boatycall just bought. On mine, the siding is riveted. I bought that trailer in 2012. It's a 2008 model. The previous owner towed it so much, that he was on his second set of tires, and they were half wore out when I bought the trailer.

Airplanes have crinkled panels. I remember it very well on the B-52 during my days at Fairchild AFB in Spokane, WA.

Here's one example:



Do a Google Image search on B52 crinkled skin.

The trailer will survive just fine. I know what you mean about the rattling when it's windy. My 6x10 blue trailer was a mini-camper. I insulated it. That stopped the rattling during the wind.
