2022-2023 winter it snowed about ***** inches and caused the roof of my 20' trailer to collapse about 4-5 inches. I have contacted the company Trailers Plus several times to get some answers about warranty and/or repair and was told the warranty does not cover snow loads and repairs would be 6-9 thousand dollars. I paid 10 thousand for the trailer brand new. They said the repairs they make would reinforce the roof so it is less likely to collapse in the future and my question is why didn't they build the roof initially with reinforcements? They didn't offer to help with the cost of repair. I am not happy with how they treat the customers after the purchase is made. Be weary of the trailers that Trailers Plus sells. They don't hold up very well to the elements.Business Response

I went to trailers plus in ****** ** to buy a trailer a day or two before Christmas 2022. I wanted a 2022 7x16 carry on patriot model but upon inspection it appeared the roof had leaked prior. Next best thing was the 2022 7x16 Interstate loadrunner. I bought trailer with warranty. We drove home on icey roads to ********* ** after buying and after getting home we loaded our fourwheelers in it for the winter and parked it in our storage unit lot. We used the trailer 8 times over the last 4 months in which the roads were wet twice, once coming home from purchase an one other instance. Upon my inspection after pulling it out of storage this spring there is substatial rust and paint chipping thru out trailer frame and trailer tongue, the doors and all around the doors basically anything black on the trailer minus the rims which are from a different company. I contacted trailers plus for the warranty claim and provided them with proof of rust and paint chips like they require. The salesman told me i would have to come to Casper with trailer to get refund after the claim was settled, I told him no problem. Three weeks later salesman calls and says sorry for taking so long to get back to you and by the way your claim was denied and gave me no reason. He then stated if I was ever close to ****** ** to stop in and they would touch it up with spray paint. I'm 4 hrs away and never go that way other than to buy that trailer I told him. I did not spend ******* on a brand new trailer with warranty to have it start rusting after four months of owning it and have it "touched up" by a shop thats not a certtified paint shop. He said he would reach back out to interstae trailers a week ago now and nothingBusiness Response

This complaint is regarding the purchase of the new 7 x 16 Tandem Axle Trailer, VIN ***************** in the amount of $5,324.41 on April 7th, 2023, per attached invoice # TRPL02-54156.After the transaction was complete upon further inspection of the trailer, I observed several defects with the trailer that were covered up by dirt and water marks. There are multiple areas on the trailer that have chipped paint and rust that were not noticeable during my initial inspection. I was under the impression I was buying a new trailer and did not realize I needed to inspect for such defects. Please see the pictures attached in exhibit A. When I returned to the lot approximately one hour after the purchase to ask the manager to swap out the trailer for one without defects, I was instructed that I signed the inspection waiver, and all sales are final. As mentioned, I was under the impression this was a new trailer, and such defects would not be present.Business Response

Outstanding build quality?? I THINK NOT!! We purchased a brand new trailer from Trailers Plus and when the sun hits it, the panels deform and wrinkles the entire skin. We tried to get it fixed at Trailers Plus the day we bought it and they told us there would be a 25% restocking fee...Wow! Then when we asked about warranty, they said only the interior is warranted. This is clearly a manufacturing defect and they don't stand behind their product. I would look at another trailer unless you want to spend $10,000 and then told to basically deal with it.Business Response

I purchased a trailer on 6/11/22. I paid $136 for "Title transfer-licensing fee" and was given a temporary permit that expired on 7/26. I was told that the permanent plates would arrive within 45 days. It has been well over two months and I have not received the plates. I have made numerous attempts to receive an additional temporary permit to no avail. At this point the business is no longer responding to my texts. I just want to have a street legal trailer.Business Response
