Puchased a trailer on 4/26. Got the vtrailer home (daytime) and loaded up a vehicle. Brought trailer home for a second load, it was now dark. One of the lights inside the trailer doesn't work. Was told there was undercoating on the trailer. There is not. Found many spots of rust that were not immediately noticeable on the lot. There is also a dent in the trailer. Called the dealership and was told "we have you on camera inspecting it." This is not true, as we were told the lights would all work when plugged into truck and truck was turned on. Have called the dealership multiple times. I am told we cannnot talk to anyone else but the manager there. Also was told on 4/25 to bring cash for the purchase. Was told to bring the exact amount, which we did. At the location on 4/26 we are told they can't take over $10,000 in cash and I would need to put $350 on my card. Sounds like someone is pocketing money to me. The trailer we purchased is now showing as sold on the website for over $12,000. Was told that's "just how the computer system works". At the store we were trying to decide between at 16 ft or 20 ft trailer. Was told at 16 ft was $9500 and a 20 ft was $10,500. There are no 16 ft trailers on the website listed for that price. They are all in the $7500 range. So, we were lied to multiple times during the transaction.

Complaint: 21643464

I am rejecting this response because:
First, I am a female (not mister). Second, I have never gotten any calls or text messages from anyone at Trailer Plus. My husband has gotten one phone call and three text messages. He responded to two text messages.
My husband and I have asked them to come pick up the trailer for the repairs and they have refused. We informed them the date that we contacted them we would not be able to bring the trailer in immediately for repairs. My husband and I welcomed the arrival of our first child on May 21. She was born prematurely and has had several appointments. The trailer has been dropped off to be repaired. However, I was told the undercoating was not covered under warranty. There is no undercoating on the trailer, but we were charged over $2000.00 for the undercoating. I was told that there was undercoating on the trailer and was shown a spray can. That is what he said they used for undercoating. It was clearly not undercoating. I was also told it will take quite some time to repair the trailer as "everyone quit".
I also sent a text message about the charges to my credit card and never got a response to my message (I can provide proof if necessary). We brought in the full amount to pay for the trailer in cash. We were told they could not accept anything over ****** in cash. We were told we had to charge an amount to a card and then were charged fees. We were never told about these fees. When my husband asked, he was told there are signs everywhere. There are no signs, nor were we told about the fees (I am sure they have since put up signs).
Sincerely,

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.

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 nothing

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.

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.
