| Description of the problem | I cannot find any information on my fifth wheel trailer when entering the vin on multiple websites. The only thing i can find is an incorrect length and an error code saying the model year for this vehicle may be incorrect. I am trying to resale this trailer and i am having a difficult time due to this. If you look at a 2015 brochure of cardinal trailers, my 3450rl model is there. If you look at a 2016 brochure, my model is not there. My trailer is a 2016 3450rl, however, i disagree. I don't know if this was a show trailer at shows or what the deal is, but i would have liked to have known all of this before i purchased this thing new at an outrageous price. I am super upside down on a 2016 trailer now. This industry needs regulation. |
