Angry Eagle Trailers

Does anyone know if Eagle Trailers in Wyandot MI is still in business?

I am trying to get a couple new brake calipers for my 2005 trailer and seem to be getting the run around!

They still have a website and phone # went to some ones voicemail but the email address is no good.

Tie Down Engineering here in ATL who makes the calipers for my trailer and sells or sold them to Eagle A) wont sell direct, B) says Eagle is now running under the name Hawkeye trailers out of Humbolt, IA and C) told me to call some place called the expiditers in FL to try and get the parts I need.

Guess I will try the Eagle # one more time tomorrow and if that dont work, I guess keep jumping through flaming hoops!

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

The coupler on our trailer was messed up when our boat was transported, and eagle is sending the marina a new coupler to install. As far as I know they are still in business.

They really should not be anything special.A good auto parts store can get them if they want to.

I would have to agree with that. We busted up a couple calipers and they sent us new ones under warranty and they look pretty standard.

You can buy Tie Down parts from several online trailer stores.

Wonder when Eagle changed to Tie Down? Mine has Kodiak brakes

Exactly. I matched up mine at NAPA. It helps to get someone knowledgable in parts searching vs. just some counter person taking orders.

Finally got a hold of Eagle today! The # you have here is their current one and they are in IA now.

Got 6 new calipers coming my way and hopefully that will end my trailer issues for a few more years!

Thanks for the info, I will check some of these other guys out as well.

i dont know when they switched to Tie Down but they built my trailer with them on it in early 2005 and sounds like they still use them quite a bit.

i almost wonder if they offer the Kodiaks you have as an option or something.
