Bought a brand new $15,000 Kaufman Car trailer and tires blow after 5000 miles. Welds break after 100 miles and Kaufman will not stand behind their product. They said it was our fault.
They were nice when we bought it.
Do not purchase a Kaufman Trailer they are poor trailers. Spend a little more and buy a big tex trailer.

Kaufman Trailers Is Known For These Issues

Google around. It doesn't take a person long to know this is not an isolated incident. I noticed it looks like they have an FFF rating with the BBB in NC. Kaufman seems to have a history of problems. The complaints online all indicate the post-sale support is sub par. You also may want to look at why the Mini-5 went to a tri-axle vs. the two axle it started off as? There may be something there?
Did you guys know that Kaufman Trailers, Appalachian Trailers, and Trailer Baron all have the same owner?

I, too have been in the business a long time.
You are leaving out some very important information.
Please tell us how many axles you have on that trailer, and how many wheels total. Also tell us the size of the tires.
I am assuming this is a tandem axle trailer with a single wheel setup, for a total of 4 wheels/tires, right?
Please let me know

I have been in this business for a long time and the trailer was not loaded improperly. First trip 4 small cars. 4 tires side walls bubble. Had tires inspected and they are defective. The ramp holder that was welded on broke right away when I tried to get the ramp out. The tounge was welded improperly.....
I could go on and on........

A $15,000 car trailer?
AUTHOR: Steve - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, January 24, 2008
I hope you are talking about a commercial car hauler! For this money I am guessing one of the 3-4 car trailers, right? Like the one hot shots pull with a dually.
Because $15,000 for a "car trailer" is about $13,000 too much!
The other person is right. Tires blow out usually for only 2 reasons.
1. Underinflation
2. Overloading.
And, very rarely does any trailer come with good tires. They put the cheapest crap they can on them to get them out the door at the highest profit.
As far as the welds breaking, that would usually be from improper use.

How much weight did you try to carry?
AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Thursday, January 24, 2008
The only reason the tires would blow out is overloaded and/or underinflated. The only reason a weld breaks is overstressed, too much weight, or a hard collision impacting it.
That said, how much weight were you attempting to carry?
