Very knowledgeable, large inventory of axles and top notch customer
service. I bought the Minuet from T&R and he has the exact replacement axle
in stock. He doesn't double the price just because it is going on an
Airstream. I had a chance to tour their manufacturing while there and saw a
modern plant that employs craftsmen well versed in trailer manufacture. No
connection with T&R, just a satisfied customer.
