I would expect that these trailers will be made from the proper grades of plastic that are UV stable and stuff that bends and flexs rather than cracking - plastics are not just plastics. I would expect these to be a more durable than steel and a definately a lot more durable than aluminium.
One would certainly hope so, they're a lot more expensive,:eek:Quote:

Tha factory is local here in Bundy and they started making trailers more than 4 years ago. They also making boats and I did not heared any bad comments yet.Quote:
