I live in NC, 100 miles from the coast. Even the seafood comes from China. Its getting bad. I quite shopping at Wally world because 19 years ago everything said proudly made in the USA, now everything is made in China.

Thats some chit if Home Depot is buying wood from China, that sux!

I owned a Haulmark and have been around Wells Cargo. If I ever buy another it would be one of those two.
YEP...You have to specify outdoor weather grade ply board!! Haulmark usually come standard with it..

I would have to guess that the better brand trailers use a 'marine' plywood. Obviously your manufacturer didn't.

I have a Pace American from Home Depot as well. I have used it a lot without any major problems. It's great for taking my bike where it needs to go and for storing all my hay for the horses in between.

I bought a new 16X7 tamdem axle trailer from Haulmark last August and have been very satisfied with it.

For what its worth, I reported them to the BBB.
BBB will not fix your issue.
If your not going to persue Lark,then rebuild the interior to your liking.

I bought a Wells Cargo 14X7 tandem 3 years ago for $5200. Standard side vents and no floor/side wood warping. Their is a reason for the price difference. You only get what you pay for........... Quality trailer in my opinion.

That just plain sux. Thanks for the warning. If I ran my business that way, I'd be out of business. Hmmm... maybe update your profile with a comment such as "Don't buy a Lark trailer, ask me why". When you replace their POS plywood, obviously use marine grade PW. It's a great "looking" trailer but the construction is pure sh*t.

I would contact someone in your city or state. In Oklahoma the dealer is reponsable for warrenty claims. I am not saying the dealer pays for it but rather the dealer is responsable to process the claim.
Next I would just sale it I will give you a grand for it.
I Have a WW trailer it is solid steel. very heavy but I use it to store my 4 wheeler and hunting stuff during the year. I lined the inside of it with 1/4" plywood without any problems. I would just screw it all down better and be done with it. then go to the next show you see them at and stand in front of their booth and tell everyone thier trailers suck.
