Owner report 11103522 · 2018-06-23 (June 23, 2018)

BRAND NEW 2018 TANDEM AXLE BOAT TRAILER- IT WAS CLUNKING ON STARTS AND STOPS FROM THE DEALER. ONCE HOME I CALLED KARAVAN TECH SUPPORT- HE SAID CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL- I HAD NOT, IT'S A NEW TRAILER... I CHECKED IT- SEE NO FLUID. FILLED IT WITH DOT 3, IT TAKES MORE...AND MORE. THEN I NOTICE THE PUDDLE AT THE REAR WHEEL. THE IDIOTS AT KARAVAN INSTALLED THE BRASS BRAKE 2 INTO 1 FITTING TURNED SO THAT THE BACKING PLATE ON SPRING TRAVEL SHEARED OFF THE HOSE FITTING. I DROVE 90 MILES WITH NO BRAKES!!! THIS TRAILER IS DEFECTIVE, DANGEROUS…
