Was doing some cleaning and d-winterizing on the toy hauler today (home made Cargo conversion) and everything was fine until I was getting ready to back it into the shop and for some reason I turned the running lights on and the brakes on the trailer locked up. :question: I have had this trailer since last August and bought it new, in fact I ordered it custom built. I haven’t messed with any wiring for lights or brakes during the conversion. I have had it on one trip to Lake Murray for a ride and took it to my mothers home and used it to haul some stuff. One thing I haven’t done was drive with the lights on as I have driven with it during daylight hours only. Tonight after checking the truck wiring and the connector on the trailer what I did find was that I can disconnect the brakes out of the circuit (Blue Wire) and the brake controller shows "no connection" and as I start to roll forward I turn on the running lights, the brakes engage.:rollfinger: Tomorrow I’ll crawl under it and see whats afoul. It will be an easy fix. My wife says to take it back to the place I bought from, I don’t want to go down that path. :rm_thumbdown:

I have ordered a custom built 7×16 and looking for any information and/or thoughts as to the quality of United Trailers.

So I ordered an 8.5×20 Husky enclosed trailer. The base cost was $4675 and by the time I added all my options I wanted, it was just under $10K.

I was told it would take 6-7 weeks and it was about pretty close (may have been a week later but in line with what they told me)

The trailer is okay… it’s not cheap or crap but it’s not something I’d consider high line. (but neither was the price)

I had a friend in Orlando and he offered to pick it up. Their customer service in helping him get the trailer was horrible. There were some issues and after waiting an hour and a half just to get them to look at it, he finally gave up and took the trailer.

I paid for a winch plate, it wasn’t there. I paid to have an access hole installed in the ceiling so the wires I had them run could be hooked up for my camera and though I paid 100 bucks for them to do it, they never did.

None of these are deal breakers but when you pay for something, I expect it to be there in working order.

The part that was poor quality was for instance, the rear tailgate door I had made 2′ taller. The idiots apparently never adjusted the torsion spring to accommodate the extra height and there for weight.

There is a step plate going in the side door and they put NOTHING underneath it so when you step into the trailer, the plate bows to the floor.

Anyway, got everything fixed or adjusted (except tailgate since the door is taped shut) and overall, I’m happy with the trailer.

I started getting the trailer prepped today so I can get it painted tomorrow to match the RV.
