We've had 5 of them now between my dad and I. A 1999 40' triple axle gooseneck, 1999 24' v-nose, 2004 6'X12', 2006 7'X14', and now another used 1999 24'. We had to remount a couple of the overhead cabinets after a few years in the 40' trailer because they just missed the overhead roof spars with the lag bolts and they were starting to sag. The first 24' has been solid and my dad sold it to one of his friends and is still using it. Sold the 6X12 to get the bigger 7X14 that I have now for MX use and it is solid. The second 24' one my dad picked up used last year and it seems really solid too other than right above the wheels the road crud has started to eat through the bottom of the outer aluminum sheeting. A new 6" strip of diamond tread along the bottom will fix it. Fixed a the brake wires under them from time to time when the factory connectors came apart, but that seems to be something that is a maintenance item with any manufactured trailer. No structural issues with any of them.

Would buy again based on previous experience.

I did not have a good experience with my haulmark, right from day 1.
They lack much in quality control and even the dealer wasn't impressed with the issues I was having with my brand new trailer.
I had lights go out in the first 2 months of use. Hado the ramp flap on rear door fall off after a few weeks. The trailer had no undercoating on the steel frame at all, and there was much left to be desired with the way they welded the frame and the wiring in general was sub part to say the least.
But I've heard good things, so maybe was just my luck.

I did just order a new charmac after seeing they way they build trailers and in dealing with them and my dealer, I am excited about it!

I've been looking at trailers for the last 2 weeks. This was a brand new Haulmark on the dealer's lot... it was convincing enough that I won't even bother looking at another Haulmark. Blown out and cold welds on structural members. No thanks.

The fact that this is on a dealers lot for sale is enough to convince me to never consider a Haulmark trailer

How can that pass even the weakest quality standards?

The flunky that welded that should be fired, and then pissed on.
