I have had mine for five years now, I am satisfied, and would buy another. For the money, they are one of the best.

My first Vintage trailer ( Intimidator) and I would consider another, only problem I've had was water heater leaking and it was replaced under warranty .
I do have a small buckle by the egress windows that I don't care much for...

For a steel trailer for the money you will not be wasting your money. I have a 2001 24 foot that is just fine to get to and from the track...and portable garage when at home....

The good.....its not that much money, so if it gets a mild war wound, its not the end of the world......It will also not attract attention.

axle size and tires will of upmost importance for you to have drama-free towing this is true for each and every trailer you consider.

The bad......you may come to wish it could be reborn as a pretty, desirable, oh so much lighter, aluminum model.....plug in the brand.....but at 2X the cost and more that can be a significant issue.....

But bang for the buck, I rate mine 5 stars out of 5.

They have cool names too. Outlaw Bandit Intimidator.....

And if you need/want a new one give Dan Fletcher a call.

I think it depends on what model. I have a 53ft gooseneck and it is all wrinkled up around the front windows and the cargo door. Long story but I had to fix it myself per their instructions and it didn't help much (still a lot of flex on the overhang). I started looking at all the Vintage goosenecks at the tracks I go to and have found that many of them have the same issues.

My next trailer will not be a Vintage. I initially thought they were good for the money but I am not too sure now. I doubt the resale value will be very good with all the wrinkling.

Thanks Ricki -
I will check into it the trailer in question is a 44' goose tri axle.
I plan to check it over once I get a eye to it.

My 07 53' Vintage is full of wrinkles....more than I am even personally....do you redrill all the holes and try to stretch metal.....nothing seen to work. Doors are sagging so bad they barely open. Only about 10,000 Miles,
