We bought one of their trailer in 2002 . We had a leaking roof in front and back. We talk to this company about this roof bubbling up. We cannot even take it camping.We are having to fix their poor workmenship. I tell everyone what junk they are.The whole roof even after ten years was not dry. I think this company should be out bisness. The rubber roof was over two inches too short. It was the biggest lemon we ever bought. We had a Sierra Trailer that was made better . We camped in it for ten years.
