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.
