Those of us who have been relatively satisfied with our trailers need to remember that posts such as Rotaxman's are just as valuable to potential owners and provide usefull information by which people can perform their own research.

Requesting substantiating facts to support a post that mentions a problem one is having with their trailer is a little demeaning of the person as if they are fudging the truth somehow.

The thing to remember, in my opinion only, is speaking derogatorily of a trailer is far more acceptable than inferring dishonesty or obfuscation by a human being.

Rotaxman is no more required to "substantiate" his problems with his trailer than you would be in speaking poorly of your mother-in-law! He simply is not required to fulfill your standards of proof.

I would think those other three owners would object if Rotaxman posted their serial numbers and "outed" them so-to-speak, they might not want their frame problem to be made public should they ever want to sell their unit regardless of it's successful repair.

Asking folks like Paul Cross how many trailers he's had to repair for things such as "lost camber" would be far more fruitfull (than bringing Rotaxman to task) for owners who genuinely want the knowledge.
