Trailer Buyers Beware......United Trailers


Recommended Posts

Posted

Ok, this may sound long winded but I am really upset about what had happened recently. Last year I purchased a 2013 United Trailers 20' enclosed trailer to trailer my Vette. I got a great deal on it and was very happy until recently. The series of snow storms here in the North East have dumped a decent amount of snow in my area. I have the trailer stored outdoors exposed to the elements thinking what could happen to it sitting in a driveway. Well I have been cleaning off the roof as much as I can but was away for the one big storm we got. When I came back to clean off the snow I was in shock. The roof buckled from the snow and damaged the roof ruining the integrity of it. The majority of the support beams twisted like pretzels and water began to leak inside onto the wood floors. I spoke with the dealer I purchased it from and they told me that the manufacturer does not cover that type of damage. I find this hard to believe that a brand new trailer would not stand up to 1 foot of snow. I just want to let everyone know that if they are in the market for an enclosed trailer of any kind, STAY AWAY FROM UNITED TRAILERS. Thank God my Vette was not in the trailer!!!! Here are some pics.......sorry for the rant.

Thats awful and I think it is unacceptable for something like that to happen to a trailer. 1 foot of snow isn't alot when you think of it.

 

So what is your course of action now? Is it repairable are you going to fix it yourself?

Insurance only covers it when towing not stored. I am paying out of pocket for all repairs.

Never spoke directly to United. They fixed the trailer and added more support beams to hold more weight.
