    Nice trailer. I had bought a 2019 step in 2018 from them. Won't do it again though. Salesman tried to screw me over on price, and the shop wasn't much better. Another guy I knew buys all his stuff there with no problems though so I dunno.

    It might be worth looking at the rear wiring harness for the tail lights to check that the wires aren't drooping, or may droop over time, and rubbing on any metal. At least if they have bolts holding the back pannels on from the under/back side so it would be a quick check. They might be using rivets now.... So, umm, meh.

    Ran in to a few Reitnouer trailers with shorts in the rear harness, but it was on trailers that were 6-8 years old.

    I had a similar experience with them. Purchased a 2019 flat in 2018 from the sales guy Brody. Wasn't that great of an experience. Definitely wouldn't do business with him again.

    Had an issue with the wiring on the trailer took it back to their shop for repairs, they claimed to fix it, next day same issue.

    Ended up taking it to the Reitnouer dealer just south of Cincinnati for repair, they knew exactly what it was ( rear wiring harness ) and got me all fixed up.
