We actually bought the trailer from someone in GA, who bought it from a dealer in Fla...so tracing it back, finding out what happened and getting to some level of recourse is unlikely. On top of it, this is SC is not one of the consumer friendly states with regard to trailers.

It is unlikely that GA and/or FL are very friendly to the idea of consumer protection either.
Some times it's best to cut your losses as fast as you can.

I think all the responses to your dilemma are spot on. Move on.

Unfortunately, tlauterio, you got scammed, much the same as I did when I thought I was purchasing a used Casita. As much as the warning bells should have been going off in my head, they didn't and I allowed my desire to purchase a Casita to override my common sense. I'm afraid you are out more than I am with your purchase though. I feel bad for you and hope you can make the best of a bad situation.

This makes me sick to my stomach. My wife and I went through something similar recently with the misrepresentation of a truck that we purchased from a private seller. They lied about the truck's origin and former use. We ended up getting a lawyer and got our money back thank goodness, but it still weighs heavy on us.
I have also been on the receiving end of buying an old RV as-is that ended up being a complete money pit. Thankfully we didn't pay much for it, but it had eerily similar issues with rotten walls and portions of the floor, leaks around vents, etc. If you have a friend who is a lawyer, have them send a note on their letterhead detailing the purchase, fraudulent information, and recourse of taking them to court. Give them a deadline of X-days to respond, get it notarized and send it certified mail. Request a full refund for the delivery of the trailer back to them. In our case sending a letter on legal letterhead that said we would take the case to small claims was enough to levy a refund. It took a number of weeks to resolve, but in the end we got our money back (less several hundred in inspections, gas and misc.). Bottom line... some people just really suck! I am sorry this happened to you.

It seems to be getting worse and worse.
