Re: New TT with Rusty Bottom
Hey Y'all, Well, it turns out the manufacturer is willing to pay for three hours of labor under the trailer. My friend got an estimate at an RV repair shop that quoted many more hours to wire brush and re-paint the underside, so he thinks the manufacturer is shortchanging him. In any case, he's pretty darn fed up with the trailer and wants to get rid of it. If y'all were looking to sell a two month-old trailer asap, how would you do it? He's in the Los Angeles area. Perhaps there is a dealer over there that sells a lot of like-new units?476Views0likes0CommentsRe: New TT with Rusty Bottom
Gee guys, your feedback is really helpful. I was beginning to think I was mistaken in thinking it was a bad case. I'll let him know to read this thread again. Any advice y'all have for him, post it here and he'll see it. All I know is tents and my 96 Chevy. -Spence475Views0likes0CommentsRe: New TT with Rusty Bottom
I just chatted with my friend and got the go head to post some photos, though, based on your posts I'd presume you folks have seen rust like this before. I thought I'd follow through nonetheless. He's waiting to hear back from the manufacturer. Turns out there's a handful of issues he wants repaired. Best of luck to him. Thanks again folks. -Spence475Views0likes0CommentsRe: New TT with Rusty Bottom
I sure do appreciate your replies. I'd like to post some photos, but they're not mine and I should respect my friend's privacy. The next time I speak with him I'll see if he'd mind. So it looks like y'all don't think rust is much cause for concern. My friend is pushing 70 and I'd think he'd be better off not working too hard down there under the trailer. Well, I suppose he can find someone to hire if need be. Poor fella...476Views0likes0CommentsNew TT with Rusty Bottom
Hey y'all. A good friend recently bought a brand new TT. He told me he'd ordered it special and it was manufactured within the past few months. It turns out, his trailer's whole underside is rusty. He emailed me some photos and I can see why he's upset. I'm a tent camper, so I don't know how these trailers generally come, but this new trailer of his looks like it's decades old underneath. A whole lot of orange down there. He's a nice fella and I hate to see him wronged. I'd sure like to offer him some advice. Do any of y'all have experience with this sort of thing? -Spence3.2KViews0likes20Comments
