Default BEWARE OF LARK TRAILERS! JUNK

DON'T BUY LARK ENCLOSED TRAILERS!!!BEWARE
I purchased a new 14 x 7 tandem black and orange trailer used to tow my harley's with from East Coast Trailer Sales in Raleigh. I used it one time to go to MB. The rest of the time it has sat under a carport. Never seen water or rain. I contacted Lark for a warranty issue, all the interior plywood has warped/buckled beyond repair. They told me to screw it down more. So if it splits its my fault or if a screw runs through the side it was my fault. So much for customer service or warranty. $4500.00 pissed away on a new trailer with no warranty and poor customer service. They set up at every local bike event BEWARE! I had a haulmark for three years and never a problem. You will be on you own, buy at your own risk. They are junk and don't care if you are happy or not.
Just trying to save someone else some grief.

Maybe they aren't meant for such short trips.

I owned a Haulmark and have been around Wells Cargo. If I ever buy another it would be one of those two.

Dummy, trailers are for boats!!! Ha, can't believe someone hasn't posted a smartazzed comment like that yet. I have no plans on buying a trailer but I do read these types of threads with interest for future reference for future purchases.

I work in the semi trailer business and some of our trailers are lined with 1/4" plywood. I for one can't understand why anyone would want it but customers order them that way.

I have one of the Pace Americans that Home Depot sells. I really haven't pulled it too far yet, but I basically bought itto "house" my bike since I have no garage. I has been handy for the times I have had to take my bike to the shop to be left overnight, since I live about 50 miles from the shops in my area.

Well, the color gives away why I bought it. You see what it got me though.
