Warranty

A trailer is working equipment, and warranty coverage should be stated plainly. Here is exactly how it works when you buy from AREA TRAILER SALES, INC.

Manufacturer warranty

Many of the new trailers we sell carry a manufacturer's warranty — for example, several manufacturers in our inventory state multi-year structural warranties on frames and components. Where a warranty is stated for a unit, you will find it on the listing (in the specification table or included-equipment list) exactly as the manufacturer states it.

• The manufacturer's own terms govern: covered components, duration, registration requirements and claim procedure.
• We hand over any warranty documentation supplied with the unit and can point you to the manufacturer's claim process.
• If a listing does not state a warranty and you want certainty before buying, email sales@trailvant.com with the stock number — we will check the unit and answer in writing rather than guessing.

Used units

Used trailers are sold in the condition shown and described on their listing, with their actual state documented in the unit's photographs. Any remaining manufacturer coverage, where transferable, passes with the unit. Used units do not carry an additional dealer warranty unless stated in writing on your order.

Our own commitment — separate from warranty

Independent of any manufacturer's warranty, every unit is covered by Our Guarantee:

• the trailer you receive matches the listing's stated specifications and condition class;
• it is the exact unit (VIN / stock number) you bought;
• its title or MCO/MSO documentation is provided as promised.

Discrepancies reported within 48 hours of handover are corrected at our cost — repair, replacement part, exchange, or refund as set out in the Returns policy.

What warranty does not cover

Across manufacturers, warranties generally exclude: normal wear items (tires, bearings, brake linings, gaskets), cosmetic marks, corrosion from environment or road salt, damage from overloading beyond GVWR or axle ratings, improper coupling or towing, accident damage, and unauthorized modification. Loading within the ratings on the unit's VIN plate — and towing with a properly rated vehicle — keeps both the trailer and its coverage intact.
