"The only thing I don’t like about the (Featherlite) trailer is that I forget it’s back there. It pulls so good. Since it’s so light, I have to watch myself when I’m passing to make sure I have enough room to pull back in. It’s a great trailer and with the aluminum, I haven’t had to do anything to it.”

Featherlite uses the pierce-and-roll rivet system in the fabrication of its roof to minimize water leakage. This system is also used by airplane manufacturers, and it fastens the aluminum sheets to each other without piercing the inner sheet. Water has a harder time entering the trailer, since no rivet hole fully pierces the trailer’s roof.
