Featherlite TrailersReviews of fthr.com

After hearing rave reviews for years about Featherlites, we decided to spend the extra money and get one. The two foot lift system is "auto leveling". Really? Maybe I'm doing something wrong, (there is only 1 button involved), but it always come to rest sloping from side to side. If I park on a flat spot it is not a problem. I'll try to reserve a flat spot next time. The dealer has been less than helpful with my inquiries about the system. Also, we have been disappointed with the trim. Somehow water got on the trailer floor, and the trim swelled up and split. Not a good look for a new, expensive trailer. I am pretty sure the dealer installed the spring for the trailer ramp upside down. It left sharp steel rods (the ends of the springs) pointing out from the base of the ramp (with the ramp in the up position). They originally stuck out about 2 1/2 inches. This would have left several sharp ends to tear legs on (ours and the horses). I had the dealer cut off the ends, but had the springs been installed right side up, there would have been no problem. The dealer assured me that the springs were installed correctly. If that were the case, this was one of the worst engineering jobs I've seen in a long while. All that said, we like the trailer. However, the particle board trim will haunt us forever, or until we sell.

perhaps I expected too much. at the price paid and for the 5 months I waited i would think some of featherlites' experience would have resulted in a really outstanding product and purchasing experience. not so much. I expected, since I provided accurate measurements, that the 6 different cars I might load from time to time would fit without damaging car or trailer. not so much. I expected the air conditioner to actually cool the interior of the insulated interior. td of only 8f should have been anticipated by the manufacturer and discussed. not so much. I ordered the trailer with a factory installed generator. is that how it arrived at the dealer? not so much. non slip floors, 110v receptacles to be able to use generator, generator exterior door hold open latch (generator shuts off over temp if door not open), curb side step to enter raised floor interior. not so much. would it hurt featherlite to hold a new customers hand and think through some of these things? not so much. very disappointed.

Being an older woman, I am having a hard time opening the doors. It dose pull very good with my truck and having a new trailer is a good feeling. I have hauled both horses and cattle in it. But have just had it out three times so far.
