the RV industry is seiously lacking on quality control. I built a cargo conversion camper 15 years ago. Well I am needing a larger one at this time. On looking around TRAILERSPLUS advertised that they are the specialists in this field. They advertise one piece roofs, totally sealed floors, built to last. So I paid more than others were charging for this better quality. drove 2.5 hours to the dealer here in Florida. After getting home I notice screws missing on exterior paneling. after getting a ladder to look at the roof (7 foot walls) I see a three piece roof. I installed a RV door latch and window. Then I pulled interior plywood off to insulated walls. found all verticle seems not sealed. Day light can be seen on all of them. Front exterior wall has a 2 inch gap from the floor. All this is opposite of there advertising, Picture adds stapled to this trailer. I contact them and he said procedure is to take pictures and send them by text. Then he changed tunes and said I would have to bring back the trailer so they could evaluate. Well they replied that it was built with in there specifications!!!. So I am stuck with a trailer that needs a lot of work to make it water tight. I think people need to be aware of this false advertisement from this company. They never stated what there guid lines are for quality control are. BUT aparently if it can be hidden from the buyer it passes!!
Sad but true. Seems that there are few companies that take pride in their products. I just returned from another trip, approximately 1,500 miles and 14 days. Dealt with three good storms and everything seems to be fine. I also did an inspection of the frame this morning and so far so good. Seems you have to make up for the short comings of the manufacturer and do the best that you can. But it would be nice to be able to purchase a good quality product at a fair price. All the best on your conversion.
And they are all like that. There is low quality in RVs and even less in Cargo Trailers. Here are some common issues with cargo trailers that are often reported: • Leaks and water damage: A trailer that's not properly sealed can let in water, damaging your belongings and leaving you with a costly cleanup. • Poor construction: Flimsy materials and shoddy workmanship can lead to a trailer that's prone to breaking down or collapsing under the weight of your cargo. • Inadequate lighting: Insufficient lighting can make it difficult, especially in low-light conditions. • Lack of security: A trailer that's not properly secured can be an easy target for thieves, putting you and your valuables at risk. These issues can be not only frustrating but also costly. If you're planning to buy a cargo trailer, it's essential to do your research and choose a reputable company that prioritizes quality. Some tips for choosing a reliable cargo trailer include: • Research the company: Look for reviews and ratings from other customers to get an idea of the company's reputation. • Inspect the trailer: Before buying, inspect the trailer for any signs of damage, fit and finish or quality • Read the fine print: Make sure you understand the warranty and any liability clauses. And, buy local. It is no fun to drive to Georgia for any issues. By taking the time to choose a high-quality cargo trailer, you can ensure a safe and successful conversion.
Well since I live in a high heat area, recent high of 118 (Just had two weeks of 110+). Weeks of 100+ temps, I can give you that information. Please stay tuned for an up coming video that addresses this topic. Thank you for watching.
Beautiful conversion. Is the bed lift mechanics a complete system you purchased or something you fabricated and then attached a winch? TIA. :-) (We're looking to do a conversion ourselves in the next year or so.)
