Advantages of fiberglass?

[Donna D.]

Pricing for molded trailers is based on capitalism... supply and demand. I'm sure I learned this in one of my undergrad classes, and we know molded trailers were made prior to most of us even knowing what the WWW was/is and long before Dan Whats-His-Name invented it.

Donna D., you need to make some room on that pedestal you normally occupy, cause Frederick has earned a place beside you! Here I thought I was the only one attending the Fiberglass University of hard knocks. I am so relieved to learn that I am not alone!!!

This is my first trailer ever, and 18 months into ownership, I have already completed almost every single class on your course list. I can't seem to pass the final exam for Money Pit 103 and I've been forced to take that particular class over and over. This is unfortunate, as Money Pit 103 is a prerequisite for most upper division classes at Fiberglass U.

Look over a course catalog, and see if you can earn your credits:
Trailers 101

• "Weight, Weight- Don't Tell Me!": Towing Capacity (fact or fiction)
• "Parts is Parts": Frame- Body or "Shell"- Suspension- Lights- Interiors-
• "Give me a Brake!": Why you want them
• "I don't Need no Steenking Papers!": The importance of Legal Title

Fiberglass 102

• "If I knew It was going to live This Long": It's all about maintenance
• "To buy Used, or Not to Buy Used": That is the question. (see above)
• "Raindrops Keep falling on my Head": Rivets- Butyl Tape- Window Gaskets-
• "But It's so CUTE!": 2-Foot-itis when the bloom is off the rose.

Money Pit 103

• "You can pay me now, or you can pay me later": Advanced New vs. Used
• "Where have all the Dealers gone?": How and why to buy Factory Direct
• "YOU"RE ASKING WHAT?!?": Why "NADA" guides are worth nada.
• "That's Optional": Expectations about features may not match reality

That's most of the Lower Division classes. I have to go now, But maybe others can suggest Upper Division classes

oooh please, I'm never on a pedestal. That's too lofty of a position for me. I get nose bleeds! Lots and lots of great people contribute. Yep Fredericks post is stellar!
