I found this ad in my local Craigslist.
Has anyone dealt with this company?
Good experience? Bad? Is the price comparable to others.

I saw a video on You Tube of a guy driving down to Georgia to pick one of their cargo trailers up. He didn't make it out of the state and he was having problems with it. Here's the one review I could find.

Ennis is a joke, has no concern for the customer and and poor communication. Asked for pics and got a few that showed a problem with the vent placement and after adding two more vents they still did not get it correct. The way the vents were put in is a joke only two of them had more than one screw holding them in place. this problem was covered up by the plastic trim. Also found that the interior plywood has several screws suppose to hold the plywood to the side post but are to short to even go through the plywood. Just a lousy dealer in general.
+ PROS: Nothing about this dealer
- CONS: Only interested in the sale, after that you are on your own.

I don't know why Douglas Georgia contains so many of the wholesale trailer manufacturers, at one point I found 11 different companies selling trailers out of Douglas, some of the addresses had 2 or 3 companies using it, others just one company to one address. Anyways, research on the reviews I could find were all negative, the few positive reviews were edited after a year or two to add new complaints.

Again, I still wonder why they all pick Douglas Georgia to do their trailer business from, has to be something about that area that makes it worth their while to set up shop. Unless it's one parent company that actually does own them all.

There's a company called Trailer Showroom. I think maybe they're a broker for different companies. Their website shows trailer manufacturing plants in GA, TX, IN, and IIRC, OR.

The prices on the GA trailers are way cheaper than the ones in the other states.

Check out Weeroll.com. A much superior product, IMHO.

I looked at the Weeroll homepage. What I noticed was FLAT ROOFS. I will not buy anything with a flat roof. I want a roof that is higher in the middle allowing water to roll off. I believe manufacturers use flat roofs because they are less expensive (cheaper) to build. When I bought my TT I made sure it had a curved roof. If you've had good luck with a flat roof trailer then good for you. Anytime water it laying on a flat surface it's gonna find a place to go. It doesn't matter what they seal it with the sun is gonna cook it brittle and it's gonna crack and leak. Excuse my rant but flat roofs have screwed up my life too many times.
