Some interesting posts with good points. Some posts from basic jerks, thank you for your iq of 30 insight.
You may note that I said I was tabling this for a while .... So I may come back to this.
Do note that however since my first post, most everything I have posted comes back with at least some .... Unnecessary and rude and unwanted and unhelpful opinion.
This has been the most rude forum to which I have ever posted.
I am done. To you nicer folks, may the years treat you well.
:R :h
OK, slam the manufacture then slam the folks who are attempting to give you some insight to YOUR assumptions and mistakes..
Yep, the truth can often backfire and ruffle some feathers, thats for sure..
YOU picked an "exotic" manufacture with "exotic" materials and wanted it for used car prices.. Just not gonna happen..
All aluminum trailers SELL AT PREMIUM PRICES, a lot of this is due to COST OF MATERIALS (aluminum if you have not noticed is considerably more expensive than steel and wood trailers).
COST OF LABOR (do you understand that building a all aluminum trailer REQUIRES LABORERS WITH WELDING SKILLS and that doesn't come cheap!).
May take LONGER TO BUILD (if studs are welded that takes a lot more time than wood construction).
Cool "yuppy green feel good appeal".. Typically costs more.
There is a myth that a all aluminum trailer is better or will last longer than a wood stick trailer. Not necessarily true! As long as the stick trailer is kept leak free (periodically check the caulking and replace when needed) it can last just as long as a all aluminum trailer. Not to mention trailers like Airstreams CAN AND DO LEAK causing considerable interior damage so even other all aluminum trailers can suffer water damage.
Perhaps instead of going away mad, you could shed some light on just WHY you picked nearly the most expensive trailer?
Was it weight?
Looks?
Floor plan?
Construction type?
Yuppy green appeal?
Ect?
Your HONEST answers will go a long way into finding a trailer which will meet and perhaps exceed your expectations while staying within your budget..
