OK, I'll bite... Where did you hear these rumors...? Being as how you're new and this is your first post, sounds more like you got an axe to grind or you're throwing dirt clods at a hornets nest....

I will reply to that. They are closed and telling customers they will be open soon.
It is a fact that they are in bankruptsy court right now. If anyone has a complaint or needs any other information, dig a little deeper.
From what people are saying there are customers that ordered trailers and a bank paid for the trailer and the trailer was never built and so on.....
It is because of dealers like this in the trailer industry that good dealers and good customers are having a hard time getting financing. It is also the reason why so many banks have decided not to give loans on horse trailers!!!

I'm still around, I have not been on here in a while. I was on last week seeing how the used LQ market looked, I'm thinking about selling mine and the prices still seem good to me so I should have mine up later this week.
The food business is still good, people are still eating out just not as much.

Well I can tell you this. We drove by there yesterday, as we live in the next town over. It looks like a ghost town. ALL the trailers are gone and they had ALOT of trailers sitting around their place. So something is going on. I'd like to know where all the trailers went??

They are out of business...but what about the quality and integrity of their trailers that are still on the road? I am looking at a Diamond 2009...any problems you guys have heard about? Thanks in advance.

I just bought a '08, 33' 3 horse Diamond used a few months ago.
Did have it checked out at Bloomer before I did a bank transfer.
I did have trouble getting a clean title. It was bought from and individual and he never checked the title VIN# against the trailer VIN# number & license plate#. None of them matched. It even said it was an '09. Took about 4 weeks to get a corrected one.
The gas heater did not have a thermostat. Yep, propane lines, heater installed, even vented, just not wired up.
The hydraulic lifts in the pod are not big enough and will have to have them replaced.
Also, I am finding some leakage in the horse compartment.
