Siding blowing out

Recommended Posts

I am having an issue with my Toy Hauler (2006 Attitude 26fsak with Aluminum siding), the siding is starting to bubble out after I have driven at speed 60+ for any given time. It is happening at the front, driver side of the trailer. I have not hit anything, I don't go to places with trees to hit the sides, how could this happen? Is there anyone else that has had this issues?

I talked to Attitude and they said the trailer is out of warranty and it is my problem...I asked them why a year and a half old trailer has siding blowing out and if I just bought a 28 thousand dollar piece of sh*t, as I have frindes that have alum. sided trailers for years and never had this problem. They did tell me however, they would look at the problem if I drove it down to them and if they find that it is there problem they would pay for it, otherwise if they determine it was my fault in some way, they would charge me for it.

What do you think I should do? Take the trip to their facility, and risk having to pay for it and the fuel both ways, or just get it fixed here. I bought the trailer at Johhny Walkers in September of 2005.

Thanks and sorry for the long post.

Tough call. I believe Attitude is here in SoCal. so thats a haul for ya.

It sound like a mfg defect to me. So I think they should fix it.

However, I'm not them. so It's risky for you.

I've talked to the owner of the company a few years ago and he was really cool.

Of course I was looking to buy.

I hope your choice is the best.

Good luck Chad.

Yep...white duct tape. :laughing: Seriously though. He hasn't got it fixed correctly quite yet. I know he just so happened to get a dent in the same panels that were bowing out and his insurance covered that repair. :flipoff:

Go to a RV body shop- they should be able to take care of it.

Sounds like its an obvious defect. I personally would take my chances and haul it down to the manufacturer. Or if you know of anyone that just so happens to be going to vegas tomorrow from so cal and going home wednesday, Maybe he will haul it down for you. Hint hint That person Is me.
