The place I went to was a trailer repair facility that also was a window shop.
The glass was safety rated, the same as was installed at the manufacturer.
Does N.J. require the manufacturers to use a different glass just for N.J.? That
sure would bump up the price of a new unit wouldn't you think?

I am not sure about today's trailers but my previous Layton 5r was shipped from the factory with a rear window glass that did not have the proper DOT approved auto safety glass in it. I had to wait for a new window to be shipped and installed before I could remove the trailer from the lot. Not that anyone would ever look close enough to see the tiny DOT markings printed on the window but the dealer said it was a state law and they would be liable if they sold it just like California's CARB compliant vehicles and equipment. Somewhere in the fine print it states that all state and federal requirements must be met. This is the same dealer who insisted on seeing my TV before signing and had a policy of having a tech watch me hook up and go on a test drive with me before signing even though I had an articulated vehicle license at the time. (state equivalent of today's CDL) ... I wish more dealers were that safety conscious. I had previously bought a TT from them and had to gladly go through the same road test each time. Great dealer, just not Keystone and too far away. Okay, okay... enough of this on someone else's thread, The other Hank

Randy ..... Are you suggesting golf practice while the landscaper is driving through the park???? You rascal.

If you missed him the first time ... you got him on the second try.

This happened to me on second time out. Mowing company was contracted and paid without a question. Funny part was they were telling me they were doing it all by the books as I pointed out they did not have the side chute guard on there machines. They told me I didn't know what I was talking about. I gave them my card which I work for a lawnmower manufacturer and my best friend gave his as he is a commercial mower himself. Funny they didn't go back to those statements anymore

leave your ins out of it. Just get a quote from a repair facility and present that to them. If you don't get what you want small claims court. They want to pay out of pocket to not increase THEIR ins rates.

I don't know about you guys, but to me this just doesn't seem worth all of the hassle. I always figured I pay insurance enough to let them deal with these things. If the insurance company feels the company was negligent, they will take them to court or contact their insurance and get the money back. In the end, your trailer is fixed and you don't have the headache. I haven't re-read everything so I may have missed something here, like the fact that your deductible is probably more than the repair would cost..........

I agree with post #27 and if they do not pay go on Judge Judy. For the 100 bucks or so they might owe you they will get yelled at by the Judge for not paying.

Please read your Policy, it is a contract and states you must report all accidents to them. Let them do what they do best.

Nothing ever mentioned when this happened, do they mow the lawn in Dec in Washington or was this last summer? If last summer the workers and company might be might be long gone.

Even if it was the end of their mowing season, it is now 2 months later. The longer you wait for this type of claim the more likely it will go no where. I'm curious what the outcome was.

[Festus2]

As you can see, the OP's last update was on Dec 4- almost 2 months ago and his last activity on the forum was on Dec 18th. At this point, it doesn't appear likely that we will find out about the outcome.

Thanks, I suppose it is to late to get the case before Judge Judy.
