Angry Haulmark Trailer - P.O.S.

Ok folks, I know a lot of you out there are completly against trailering your bikes and I can appreciate that. Unfortunately, not everyone can ride 10,12,15 hours a day cross country. So please forgive my necessity to trailer. That being said, I really need help from the forum in deciding on a trailer to purchase.

Last weekend I bought a Haulmark v-nose Low Hauler and I could't get 2 miles down the road (literally) without the outer skin peeling back. And that was after a 5 1/2 drive from New Orleans to Houston, hotel stay, gas and a days vacation. Long story short, I had to get my money back and UTC/Haulmark refused to "make things right". So Haulmark, Wells Cargo and Featherlite are all OUT!!!!
I am looking at Bendron, Lark, Pace and Continental Cargo. Can anyone please help?

Thanks

I have a Continental Cargo, 6x12 with the high ceiling. Has finished interior,and two sliding windows. a 4" drop axle so it pulls nice and the ramp is not steep. I'm in Wa State, just trailered my bike to Carson City HD where they let me park my stuff for a week while wife and rode around NV,CA,AZ. Trailer works great, pulls nice. Will trailer to Sturgis and camp with it this year. We Hit snow big time coming back home, trailer pulled fine.

First I've heard of that with a Haulmark.I have a low hauler that has seen a lot of miles without any issues. Best trailer I have ever towed. You can get a bad one with anything that's made.Did you get irate while trying get it resolved?

I have an ATC 6x12 (similar to the picture below which is a 6x10) and have never had any issues. I've pulled it from Iowa to Northern Maine completely full, zero issues.

Featherlite is the best there is IMO, why did you rule it out?

I have a Homesteader EZ-Hauler and could not be more pleased. I have had Pace which was good and a Rolex which was pretty, but for the $$ I would choose a EZ-Hauler again.

I have 6x12 Pace that I haul my Limited using a Wheel Dock to secure the bike and have never had a problem. In fact this is my second Pace trailer.

I carry mine occasionally on an open 5X10 made by C&B Trailers in Caldwell Idaho. Super strong and well built.
