2 words, Bye Bye. Just ask any owner of a Kiefer Built, C&C, Silverlite, Cowboy Classics, Ponderosa, and many more that I'm not able to recall. All pretty good products from good people- but no longer in existence to honor warranty claims.

10702 new and used trailers for sale on HTW alone.... Someone has to build something very special to stay above water these day. A lot of folks upgrade to a new to them used trailer...... Can't afford to take that big hit in deprecation on that new metal!!! Pay 50K for a new run of the mill LQ trailer, pull it home and you couldn't sell it back to the dealer or anyone else the next day for 25K to save your life.

I totally agree, there is a big depreciation on a new trailer but if you buy it used chances are pretty good you can own it for many years and probably still get most of your money out of it.
