Guest Aussie007 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) by jimminy gazza that does not sound encouraging! everything but the frame and rims rusted the paint peeled off the rims and the tow hitch bolts were rusted along with everything else rusting i called the manufacturer 2 months i think it was after the purchase he told me to suck it up no warranty Edited April 13, 2012 by gazza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigelr Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 Sincere thanks gentlemen for taking the time to reply; living 500k's north it's obviously a real gamble buying 'unsighted' and so I genuinely appreciate your comments. gazza thankfully I'm looking at the '4 x 2 17 foot unbraked with skids' model - I can only hope your experience was a very unfortunate one-off. I did a search on this forum and a couple of the members seem to have bought them........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbink Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I have two they are good value and I haven't had any problems. One is 12 years old and the other is 7 years. As to the negative post rust is par for the course for a trailer dipped in saltwater. So long as it's not in the frame it's not a big deal. It's worth spraying the vulnerable bits with a rust preventative like Tectyl or Lanoline. You can do this to any parts of the frame that are dipped in water.

nigelr Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 thanks billfisher, yeah it will definitely be hit with tectyl before it's first use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good idea... a bit of lanox spray after each trip will help keep the rust at bay.. Cheap insurance.. Good luck with the trailer purchase..
