Original Youtube Video was removed by poster; we hope this mess was resolved.
We were so excited to be able to see our first vintage trailer in its "before" condition and get to choose flooring, paint colors, seat fabric, and accent fabric. Sadly, it didn't turn out like it was described it would be.
We need to return it because we discovered a long list of things not provided as listed in the original sale. We now know to pick up a trailer in the daylight (we tried, but they were not available) so we can see as much as possible before paying for it.
We missed three soft spots we were told they'd replace, didn't check all the lights (one only works when plugged in to turn on and unplugged to turn off), and didn't check under seats to know the OSB used for the couch/bed, dinette, and bunk was too heavy to lift, scratched skin, and recently found out WAY too heavy for a vintage trailer!
The sellers flip vintage trailers as a business, so I deleted posts of excitement three weeks ago to protect their reputation. I'm hoping the husband will convince his wife to do the right thing. He offered to reimburse us & pick up the trailer, but his wife disagreed, so we are currently stuck with something we can't stand behind to sell or even drive because it's too heavy to be safe.
Yes, we know so much more now, especially after others commented on the Tin Can Tourists and Go Tag-A-Long Facebook pages. Most have been so kind and supportive. Please share helpful advise that will help us move forward, and help us know how to choose our next vintage trailer.
My hubby's work referred him to an attorney who told us Title Jumping is illegal and considered tax evasion, especially when running a business from their home. We do not know if they have a business license. The attorney advised us to send the sellers a registered letter stating they have five days to bring us a cash reimbursement and pick up the trailer; otherwise, we take them to small claims.
Does anyone want to take anyone to court? We don't. Does anyone want what's right? We do. Help!
