Soliciting opinions on how old is too old for a trailer. I realize there are limitless variables to my question but in your opinion what is the cutoff age for how old a trailer if you were buying used would you consider. I also understand this has the potential to get manufacture specific in relation to age, but regardless of manufacture does the metal (aluminum) fatigue with age or is it as strong years down the road as the day it was formed?

I would say that it is more how was it care for I have seen trailer 3 yrs old and the floor is gone not care for. How much rust is on the supports How bad is the rust. It is to me not an age problem but a care hope this helps
