Location: league city texas |  Hi, There.... I have a 99 Featherlite 3H LQ and I love it! It is a 6 ft shortwall and has never gave me any problems. It has a shower in it and it has never leaked. Pulls like a dream.. Good luck on your new trailer. |

Location: Minnesota | What specific problems have you heard about? Some people have had problems with their trailer, no matter what brand, and attribute it to all trailers made by that manufacturer. I have an 02 Featherlite that has not had any problems and am actually looking at another brand new one. I just got off my email looking at the specs. I am very happy with my Featherlite. |

Location: Ocala Florida | I would pull all the mats and look at the floor really well I have seen that brand of trailers need the floors replaced in trailers that was less then 2 years old . It really depends on how well that they have been taking care of....

Location: Southern New Mexico | It doesn't matter what brand of trailer it is. If the floors aren't taken care of they will have problems. I have a 98' steel featherlite and still have the original floors. The only problem I have is there is some rust (it's steel afterall) and a leak in the dressing room roof, the calk is 10yrs old and dried out. It's just a maintence issue. |

| We bought our first featherlite trailer four years ago, then we upgraded to a bigger one, featherlite of course and when my son was trailer shopping, guess what, another featherlite. That is the brand of choice for us. A good quality trailer. We did pull our mats out and put the rhino lining down to keep the floor from pitting. Look at several brands, compare and go from there. You may find a different brand that you like better than the featherlite. |

Location: West virginia | Got my first featherlite in june upgraded from a late 90's steel trailer .I just put pine shaving down and clean it out as soon as i get where im going.I have pulled the matts once and washed it out there are several drain holes under the matts to let water out.no problems yet but the trailer is only 3 months old .I don't think any floor will last long without some maintance,and cleaning no matter the brand. |

Location: Iowa | I've had my featherlite for 6 years. I have had no issues at all. I also take very good care of it. I clean it out after every trip, and power wash the floor at the end of the season. |
