Example complaints

Tires: “I experienced a tire failure on 9/1/08 on hwy 44 in mo. The tire was on a trailer purchased 3/20/08.

The trailer is typically loaded to capacity, so I am careful to monitor tire pressure (40 PSI per the owners manual). When the tire deflated, it was replaced with the spare. The failed tire appeared to have deformed after overheating, but as not punctured. …”

Body and structure: “The rackandroll ?kd78? Trailer I bought in mar08 has suffered tongue failure despite being operated within the load rating. The trailer was a new model for 08, a larger version of the ?kd? Trailer. They differ only in width, the two trailers share all main parts except lateral members. I ordered the optional heavy-duty suspension, which raises the load capacity to 300 lbs (per the owners manual). When I first started to load the trailer for use, I noticed that the suspension seemed to struggle to support this load. …”
