Can't comment on the decking used, but I love my BWS trailer have absolutely no complaints. They are by far the most common heavy tag here and also quite a few 5th wheels too. Well built, really wide ramps, so easy to load with tilt, beavertail, and ramps. From the looks of it I think my 2012 is still original deck, weathered but still in decent shape other then a few holes that are my fault.
