*Warning* Continental Trailers

[FELLOW-SHIP]

Several years ago I bought a new aluminum single axel trailer from a very good company located in the Tampa Florida area. They shipped my trailer it to me and delivered it to a local marine shop in Fort Lauderdale. I stop by pay the bill, looked briefly at the trailer, hooked up and drove away happy about my new trailer especially because I knew this manufacturer made very good trailers. Well 5 miles away on I-95 in Fort Lauderdale in 5 o’clock traffic one wheel comes flying off and my NEW trailer starts bounces around sparks a flying axel grinding to a dead stop stopping 5 lanes of traffic. Thank God no one got hurt except my new trailer. I pull off the road collect the tire and discover the Dealer Forgot to tighten the nuts on the one side. He put them on so when you looked they looked snug but only hand tight. I flipped out scarred the s**t out of me and I never bought another thing from this local dealer. The manufactures replaced it and the driver for that Co. got in a lot of hot water for not putting on the tires himself. But I sure did learn my lesson “trust no one” when it comes to stuff like this.
