If they agreed to take your trailer in trade, sight unseen, then they assumed the risk that there may be problems. Giant is the one that assumed the risk in agreeing to the transaction in that manner. As I said before, they probably low balled what they gave you for it and will most likely be able to make it up after they make the repairs and re-sell the trailer. Glad to see that Giant came out on the short end for once!
Well from a neutral standpoint. There is a trade discloser clause in the actual contract signed for the purchase. This is not a "Giant RV clause, this is on all vehicle contracts. This is to protect the buyer and seller in cases just like what has happened.

I also have recall items needing repair. I have an '05 FS 2600 with alluminum sides and have noticed the compartment door located at the front left side of my trailer won't close shut unless it is slammed shut or unless I lift on the bottom portion to twist the door into place. I also have some roof separation located also at the front of the trailer on the same side as the compartment door. The trim that runs along the roof line has separated. I called WW last week and I was told someone from Warrior would call me to address any recall items I have pending. I called again this week and was told to wait yet again for someone to call me regarding any recall repairs I required. I mentioned I also require their prophylactic fix which caused the frame twisting which caused my roof and compartment door to flex. Has anyone else experienced the same service as I?
Thank you.

I talked to Jamie from WW today. The estimated date of completion of my trailer is June 20th. It left here a little over two weeks ago. I was told it would be back before The 15th. We are suppose to camp at the MIS Nascar race. Looks like it might be back to a tent.
I was expecting it to take longer. I am sure there are alot of trailers there to be fixed. As long as I have it back by the 25th It won't cause to much greef.

I talked to WW a couple of days ago about my 05 FS 2600 and they said it was not included in the recall for the prophylatic fix, only the 01 and 02's.

Have you had the prophylactic fix done to your trailer yet? If so what did they do. Who did you talk to at WW and did you give them your vin number? It is my understanding that it is only the trailers that have their tongue formed by the bending together of the 2 pieces of C channel that run the length of the trailer are in need of the fix. According to the diagram of the fix 2 pieces of C channel are welded in between the point of the bend for the tongue and the front of the trailer and the joint is reinforced with a gusset. On my trailer (date of manufacture 04/04) I have 2 pieces of 6 inch C channel that run from the front to the back of the trailer. The tongue is formed with 2 separate pieces of 6 inch C channel. The geometry of my frame is identical to what the fix accomplishes, less the gussets. Are trailers with my frame geometry getting the gussets welding on to them? I gave WW my vin number and they told me it was not elegible for the fix.

I'm afraid my fix wasn't prophylactic. It was too late. Mine was already broken. The frame was bent, the skin was separating, etc. So they cut the first 10' or so (can't remember without looking at it) of the frame off and replaced it with a new frame piece with a different shape.
Here's the description from earlier in this thread:
I wrote:The biggest part of the fix was the new A-Frame. The old setup had the two legs of the "A" attached a few (maybe five?) feet behind the front of the box of the trailer. The front of the box provided the cross member for the "A". The new "A" is totally different. Picture an A, but instead of a line connecting the two legs of the A, there's a box enclosing the ends of the legs of the A, continuing around (and outside) the legs of the A, and crossing through the middle of the A. It's lots beefier.
I don't know if this is a generic fix or if this was the solution for mine. All I know is that it appears to have fixed what was wrong with mine. They finished the work on time and they didn't charge me for the repairs.
That wasn't the end of my troubles, but at least it fixed the frame. Skim through some of my previous posts in this thread for some examples of ways to prep your trailer before you take it in for repairs. Mitigate your damages.

My 2007 WW FS2500 Superlite was picked up today at 8:00 am by a F350 Dually and the driver said he would have the trailer at WW on Friday.
