Four years old and the mfg. takes it all the way back to plant in Florida to try and make it right... I might want to try one out.... Would like a 2+1 simular to this, maybe with an eight foot DR...

^^^^ off subject, but could you tell me how the ramps are constructed, as in what is inside? I have to build a new ramp for my 6 horse head to head and I'm looking for ideas other then the old aluminum one it has now.
Edit... Oops, maybe you don't own this one in the photos?

Caulking is something that is designed to fail. Of the 2 living quarter trailers I have owned the manufacturers used a urethane caulking that AT BEST has a 5 year adhesion warranty. It does not have an infinite life. If routine maintenance were performed the leaks could have been caught before the living quarters were ruined.

I'm a Platinum dealer and I applaud the Shadow people for their attention to this issue.....I do believe they have done all they said they did....I can tell you from experience that there are some people out there that you don't want to sell a trailer to.....and no matter what the brand of trailer is, there are simply buyers who are never happy and want the cheapest price and have unreal expectations.....even when they don't operate or care for the trailer properly by winterizing, sealing, yearly maintenance, etc.....We are an authorized warranty repair facility for Norcold and we have done warranty or recall repairs on many of them...Norcold has never refused to fix one yet...so there was no reason to just give them a new refrigerator....some people get the moon and still want more.....You are right....no good deed goes unpunished....

I am watching and wondering were is jette1 after all the written ?? Is the trailer fixed ?
If you google the screen name, I bet you will find it all over the net with just posting/bad mouthing the company then running off. It's a shame really, but most "horse people" know better, a lot more mature then kids bad mouthing a product then all going with that one bad review.
Myself, all this thread did was make me look up the company and see what they have... Being that I live only 50 miles away (Hernando county) I would like to go to the factory for a look see, one day I would like a new H2H trailer or a bit smaller and put this one I rebuilt in back up status.
