I have personally dealt with some of the trailer manufacturers in GA, because some of my customers bought into the "great trailer for a cheap price". One of them was a VHB trailer, which means it has no exterior screws. By the time he got it back to Oklahoma, 3 of the side panels had fallen off because the trailer wasn't prepped properly for the 3m tape.
At first, we thought the company was going to stand behind their product and make things right. My customer and I both talked to them and they were going to ship the skins and pay for my shop to do the work. 2 weeks later the skins came in damaged, which were signed off damaged on the load slip. Next thing you know they are crawfishin' on the deal and said that was all they were wiling to do. Never sent anymore skins, and wouldn't pay for the repairs.
Customer said not to worry about it, that he was going to go the legal route. That's all we ever heard about it.
There are also a lot of "big name" trailer companies that have been bought out. After the buy-out, they have been cheapened up, kept at the same price, and are basically being sold on a popular name because that all most of the general public buys off of.
