Would you sell your airstream to anyone

[William Ales]

One major bit of advice to all of you who sell your trailer to the next user! If they have a hitch......As a previous business owner that rented boats and personal watercraft on a daily and weekly basis!! Do not hook up the trailer to their tow vehicle under any circumstance....explain how to hook up and watch them do so, do not touch the hitch or any component, why so you may ask? if something goes wrong...a disconnect, rollover, partial disconnect that causes the trailer to become erratic....then it's your fault, you hooked it up, and you better have a witness watching.

No, I wouldn't sell my trailer to a person who I absolutely thought wouldn't make it out of town without a potentially fatal accident or even my "previously-loved" trailer on its side.

I like Lamar's thoughts. I would hate to see someone hurt, but I would also hate to see the baby I restored trashed due to some bad decision-making. Okay, that's it, I'm not selling to anyone.

I would just let him take it with the $$$$in your pocket. I lived in Europe for 4 years, and if I remember correctly, the liability laws are quite different. Europeans aren't as litigious as we are here. You don't just sue anybody for any little thing. Lawsuits are rare as the plaintiff must foot all the bills in bringing suit, and if he loses, pays ALL costs. Therefore, it just isn't that common an occurance. That's how it was explained to me by a German lawyer friend some 10 years ago. I don't think much has changed, so give him the title and Tot siens.
