Hi Reg

I'm game - would you like to start a new thread for this purpose?  I think some good could really come of it.  I've learned quite a bit and would like to learn more.

Who said anything about them not working hard???  They are...but at this point the woman is on her second(2) NEW trailer from them and now she just wants her money back and expenses so she can go buy another trailer.  The dealer she bought it from are no longer selling Exiss

FYI - get your facts straight, it wasn't even HER trailer. She was borrowing it, wrecked it, and is now blaming it on the manufacturer.

I came in for lunch and you guys and gals are still whining and bickering over this horse that poked it's head through the Exiss roof. I've seen the day when I could have poked my fist through the roof of one. It's an aluminum skin, had it been meant to be a horse restraint, I believe that Exiss would have used the same material as they use for their floors........Along with rubber mats. If you don't have money to buy your own trailer and have to borrow one to haul your horse, then you probably don't have the money to pay to have it fixed.........So why not try to blame the Mfg. for an inferior product. That's what's wrong with society today, people won't stand up and take the blame for their screw-up's and then make it right themselves. If you all have horses like I think you do, then shut down the computer and go out and work them, pick out their stalls, move some hay, clean your tack. If you don't, the next time they don't win in the show ring, you'll want to blame it on this thread, rather than on yourself for being lazy, sitting around, stirring someones pot!

I'm outa here!   Retento

It's not just the Sport model having problems..it's any trailer made by Universal...the dealer I just bought my Trailet from stopped selling them due to very high customer dissatisfaction..the plain and simple truth is the trailers SUCK..I have a friend who is meeting with a lawyer next week because of all the problems with her Exiss...wants her money back and rightfully so.  Word to the wise...get a competent mechanic to make sure that you have clearance between the wheels and the fenders so you don't have multiple blowouts and/or horrific accident..(trust me on this)...the trailers have significant structural flaws..or just do what Universal is probably telling the OP to do for her roof problem..get a giant roll of Reynolds Wrap(not the heavy duty kind) and re=wrap your roof..dont forget to tape the edges cause it is made to keep water out not horses in!!!  Not a troll here, just stating the facts painful as that might be for Rodney and TJ...run screaming frm Universal Trailers...y'all have a nice day now!!!

Word to the wise- Read your warranty before you sign and buy your trailer, truck, electronic equipment, appliances, etc. By signing on the dotted line, and/or making your purchase, you agree to the "terms and conditions set forth".  There are other avenues to take if you have a legitimate complaint (as stated by me before) ie: BBB or the AG.

I feel badly for the owners of the Universal brands because all their own trailers that "SUCK". Perhaps you could be the mouthpiece for every one and organize a class action lawsuit. Sarcasm intended here, after all I am the owner/operator and sponsor of said company. No snake in the grass here.

Have a good night y'all.

Other avenues ARE being persued...TRUST ME ON THIS ONE.  I think it's called the lemon law if I'm not mistaken...rivets too short, doors not shutting, ramps falling off, peak leaking, tires not heavy duty enough for trailer and too wide causing multiple blowouts..shall I go on???????  Not just one BRAND NEW trailer but TWO..YUP ON NUMBER TWO!!!!!  First one is being used as a "loaner" for other people to use while theirs is being fixed.

I DO have first hand knowledge of whats been happening as I was standing there when they loaded 4 horses on a 6 horse BRAND NEW trailerm never used yet and the trailer bent (bent or whatever) and they could not shut the doors..mind you this was in Jan. with horses clipped to go to Fla.  that was the FIRST trailer...and I've been there to see the rivets coming out of ramp etc...so yea I do have first hand knowledge of whats going on...dealer she bought it from is no longer involved as they are not selling Exiss anymore.  The poor woman just wants her money back.  She was posting on this foum but she was banned frm posting anymore.....hmmmmmm wonder why that is???????

I Don't remember any posting about an Exiss trailer doors not being able to close after horses were loaded.    and the poster being banned.  This sounds like more stories or before my time.

Missy ... More details to jog my memory  please...

Maybe ... the screen name of the poster so we can search the forum. 

To quote you ... " hmmmmmm wonder why that is???????

You are gonna get this thread locked by your ranting without verifiable facts.

Bridget had pictures available for her story. We discussed her issue respectfully and without hysteria.  Let us do the same for your issues.
