WE DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE FRAME OF THIS TRAILER WAS DISINTEGRATING DUE TO RUST. AFTER A SEARCH ON LINE WE REALIZED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRAILERS. WE CONTACTED SUNDOWNER AND GOT A RUN AROUND. WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE IN OKLAHOMA, JUST FOR THE RECORD. I AM SURE THERE ARE PEOPLE CRUISING AROUND IN IGNORANT BLISS WITH THIS PROBLEM, BUT EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE A DISASTER. ANYWAY, WE WOUND UP SPENDING $5400.00 AT ORCHARD TRAILERS IN WHATLEY, MA. TO GET THE ENTIRE FRAME AND FLOOR REPLACED. THIS WAS A WELL MAINTAINED TRAILER AND WAS SELDOM USED IN THE WINTER. *TR
