There was a time where the company was owned and run by someone else and many people experianced problems... could that have been the time your trailer was built? I am having Manning do the one for my 20, I spoke with Ron and saw a couple of the trailers he has done and was impressed with HIS quality and workmanship.

I just had an aluminum trailer built for my 34 Vyper in September 2009 and it turned out great. Ron was easy to deal and I have had only 1 minor issue which I fixed myself.

I just got back from Manning and picked another trailer up. What a great job they did.

I looked at a few manning and they were very nicely built

Ron did return all of my emails that I sent him....and he stated that the issue with MY trailer is that my axles are prefabricated in Indiana and he just installs them on his trailers. My apologies for a very strong opening statement....mistakes happen and I believe that the axle manufacturer made an error when building my axles/hub location.

I did drill new holes and adjusted the hub to the "8 oclock" position, repacked the bearings, installed new pads etc etc..... and NOW have a super trailer! I would buy another Manning.... AFTER I look at the brake caliper location!!!!

But yet the thread title is Manninng trailers stink

I have my 47 fountain on a myco and there is a guy with a 46 Black Thunder on a Manning who launches where I do. When he parks next to me and the trailers are side-by-side the Manning looks like a toy. Everything on the Myco is heavier duty and the finish looks much better.
