If I were ever to go on one of these 'factory tours' I would be most interested in seeing / talking to the engineering department. I would doubt that would be a part of the tour, but I don't know that for sure.
Putting it together (trailer assembly) would interest me for all of 15 minutes because judging from the end result one could have a pretty good impression as to how these are slapped together. In that 15 minutes I'd be interested in seeing how the design is translated to the final product via the assembly process. In most cases l have seen the latter function, if not tightly controlled by strong QC, is a leading cause for failure in a manually produced product. Operator error is also another leading cause.
Thanks for the failure pictures which can be pretty disturbing by themselves, however without knowing the actual loading, initial structural strength, material diminution, and other factors it is difficult to arrive at a proper conclusion on the inadequacy of these UL chassis.
