Caution Buying Mirage Trailer.

[rsaint]

Well after 4 years here is what your Mirage trailer will look like. Called the factory and they will do some thing about it ONLY if i take it back to the factory. Well how far away is that 4-5 days of driving hotels ect. Cheaper to get rid of this trailer and buy a better trailer. Blamed it on not washing it enough. Mentioned if he wanted picts of it and not interested and said i had nothing to gain posting them on the internet??? The problem with it is when you join dissimilar metal like aluminum to steel they BOTH have to be coated or there will be a reaction. Was happy with the trailer and was expecting this in 10+ years not 4. Also the axles are starting to crack where the tortion axle hooks to frame.

Yikes!!! I've had my Nashcar for four years now and still looks almost new. It is however all aluminum construction. I think you have a legit beef there.

Wow that sucks man bring it to the dealer u bought it at and park it out front with a big banner on the side explaining your story get a Internet domain like www.miragetrailerssuck.com they deserve it

Thats electrolasis corrosion plain and simple! Has nothing to do with washing! If seen that before on reefer trailers.

SWS is not a dealer anymore. Basically screwed just cautioning others or driving 20+ HRS 1 way to get it fixed

one more reason to go all aluminum. you get what you pay for

That sucks SWS is actually a really good dealer, give mirage some push sometimes these companies feel they can push a consumer around. The extra money you could get for the trailer selling it all fixed up would it pay to go the 20 hrs cause I can't imagine it will be easy to sell your trailer as it is

Same thing happened with our mirage work trailer, only two years old though. The outer sheet also tore off the side door.

 

[ANDRES]

Ours looks the same.

Thats what happens when you slap alum on steel frame same thing on my old trailer. Went to a full alum with hard wall sides best move ever.

Nashcar, Featherlite, and I believe Triton? Probably others as well. I have a Nashcar that was rolled on the hiway that looks better than the Mirage LOL

 

[gotboost]

featherlite or the trailers that firefly sells on here :d or mission trailers too

If you ever get to red deer allandale industries (featherlite haulmark dealer)are excellent at reskinning stuff like that, granted sill probably 100+ shop rates but it might be fixupable.

Problem is...Still have a steel frame with aluminum skin...

Only way to do it right is to reskin the ENTIRE trailer in steel...Not worth the money. Drive it till it falls apart then junk it...Economy trailers are disposable...

Tritons are all Aluminum. Did you buy your trailer in Wabasca ?

Original owner bought it in Taber, then he rolled it, I bought it from the insurance co. They wrote it off...I have used it as is ever since lol. Have the new skins, but havent had time to get them on yet.

we have 34 foot goose neck mirage with a heater cabnets and 2 fuel cells. the trailer is 3 years old (still in warrenty) and we were going down the highway and the fuel cell broke off and was dragging down the highway(full of fuel) so we called down to mirage and the guy told us he will not warrenty it becasue we are close to the end of the warrenty and also our cabents are starting to fall apart the only thing we have put in them is oil and our helmets and they are starting to fall off the wall. we also have side pannel issues just like the pictures. we are less than pleased
