I have a 22' LoadTrail GN, its a damn good trailer. Its getting close to being 4 years old out of the factory.
Aside from **** welds underneath in a few locations that I couldnt stand and ground out and rewelded. And the plastic breakaway brake box cracking all 4 feet off of it. Its been a great trailer. I'm guessing close to 40k on it.
Bought it off Chris Barron right here on Hardline, hes a dealer over near Jackson, MS.
If you buy:
-lay good eyes on all the welds, and dont buy that one, I never heard a word back from the factory after two calls.
-plan to immediately put good tires on it.
Mostly a Copy paste from old Pirate post of mine.

I just bought a 2013 Load Trail 22' gooseneck, paid for it Thanksgiving '12 picked up Jan 20th. All the welds you can see are beautiful.
But climb underneith and it looks like Helen Keller was cut loose with a Mig and told to learn how to weld. It is fawking terrible!!! Burn throughs, bird **** globs, stalactites looking **** hanging everywhere, handfuls of beads that look more like braille or morse code dots than a weld bead.
I plan to tilt it up and fix it vs. ever have to worry about it breaking apart or the factory douching it up even more.
Guess I need to snap pics and share.
I honestly would have never stuck my head under the deck, but 3 cheap ass Chinese from the factory tires died on me in roughly 500miles. All unloaded, two were on the way home from picking it up in MS. So all that intimate time I had down in the wheelwell area equaled curiosity once you see that 1st shitty attempt and burning some wire in.

As promised. Everyweld topside or on the side you can see are very good to excellent. And actually every thing aft of the rear axles is good. But forward from the rear axles and underneith is scary. I will be fixing them.
Ignore the hole with the powdercoat draped from it. I used a stepbit to put drainholes in the bottom of that storage box.
Trailer is gorgeous, just some **** welds up underneath. :mad3:
