id agree with you there, you have a good point.
from the construction side of things you would never see too many of their trailers, there is some about, but the brunt of them are chieftain, mostly because the money was right, and new paint hides a multitude of problems really.
some herbst too, which seem to be a good trailer, at least they dont do the splits.
i have a gp14 here, a tbf one, handy trailer for me, flat floor so serves many jobs, should of bought the 16t one at the time, but greedy boards would solve that problem.
looking at it from a different angle, what really gives out on any of the trailers.
