We bought an ATC toy hauler. It arrived with all kinds of things wrong with it. We’ve spent the past year documenting (videos and photos) the issues, on the phone and on the computer (emails) trying to get replacement parts and/or arranging to have things fixed. After over a year, things are finally close to what they should have been for a brand-new unit. Whenever I posted to ATC’s Facebook page, I was attacked, bullied for being disloyal, accused of everything from inflicting the damage ourselves to identity theft. It’s been a horrible, horrible experience. We’ve performed all but two of the repairs ourselves because, if the experts couldn’t build it correctly, how could we trust a dealer, who just sells them, to do a good job? The one time we did take it to the dealer to fix one of the rainwater leaks, they replaced the wrong part, and made the leaking area even larger.
Is this info still relevant today? I’m looking at buying a 22’’ steel or 20’ aluminum car trailer this week. Just wondering how this info can still be relevant today. Considering this video is 7 years old.
Anytime two dissimilar metals are against each other especially outside you will get some type of corrosion even aluminum and stainless steel.The best trailers overall that have to sit outside are galvanized steel ones.
Finally a Man that works with his hands and has real Knowledge and not a sales person talking crap.
This guy kicks ass! I like it.
Thanks for making the video. Very helpful info
Thank you, good information!
Great job feller

Very educational. Good job.
Can I replace my wood top with an aluminum top?
Can I use a vapor barrier and stanless bolts?
Ohhh. Valuable knowledge thank you.

Did you get a reply to your question?
@@IcePonyGoddess do you see a reply?
Thank you for your great informaition
What is your opinion of the Cimarron or CM all aluminum trailers?
The problem still exist after building a new sub frame .
How good are the all aluminum atc carhauler trailers. Im thinking of getting one.
Why not build the subfame out of Aluminium
Have you ever heard of Sundowner Trailers? They build all kinds of aluminum trailers. Any thoughts?
Did you get a reply to your question?
@@IcePonyGoddess I did not.

Which horse trailer brands do that?
AND THAT'S WHAT YA GET WHEN YOU HAVE NO SUSPENSION.
Problem is your steel tubing will rot out twice as fast as C channel. Should have had the steel galvanize dipped last forever
I would say the new steel tubing will last the rest of the life of this trailer....
Junk and so expensive .
