Mike,
I find your story very interesting.

Just about every 'Borg-type' store sells them {from the small ones to some
really big ones}, and even has assembled models on display. Although they
are more prevalent during the warmer months, they usually have big sales as
winter approaches, probably because they don't want to store the assembled
units. I got mine at a local HD. Came in 2 or 3 boxes. A leisurely afternoon
to assemble. Not even a raised eyebrow when I took the obviously Chinese
paperwork to have it registered.

My only 'guess' about what happened to you is that there are no 'local'
Trailer Dealers, in the area. There 'may' have been one in your 'case'. A
'little whisper' in the ear of a friend in the State Police, and your boss
gets a visit. IF there was no 'Cease & Desist' paperwork involved, then it
most definitely was 'bogus'.

Of course this was Virginia . . . where you can get as swacked as you want
sitting at the bar in a restaurant, but it is illegal for YOU to CARRY your
glass of wine from the bar to YOUR table !!

We used to sell probably exactly the same trailer at Wal-Mart years back.

Anyway, we sold dozens of them until we sold one to a Virginia state
