I bought my 48 footer from them. They quoted me 2 week's,,,,,it was 6. I had a very unpleasent experiance with them. I got there at 4 a.m. and waited for them to open. There was so many thing's that was wrong, and not ready it was a joke. They kept working people in around me. They made me wait for like 4 hour's. Finally I said fix this now or give me my money back. I actually ended up fixing the wiring that wouldn't work just so I could leave. They're really nice at first, then once you're hooked, their customer service is horrable. I'll never buy nothing from them again.

OK,,,rant off.

The quality is so so. There's better and there's worse out there. It's a good middle of the road trailer for the money. I wouldn't pay extra for the junk radial's they offer. I blew all 6 of mine in no time. My friend blew all 6 of his too. The one good thing I like is they put sand in the paint on the deck. It really help's keep you from slipping. It's well worth the extra money.

 

heyy i have a 2006 53 ft appachalian trailer and love it ,,i use it to haul cars every day only problem i have had with my trailer was the lighting seems like they rushed to build my trailer i have the electric to hydraulic crossover for the brakes and everything is heavy duty. any other info i can help u with ,,just ask ,,

 

I ordered the trailer yesterday. Not something typical that they have so he's going to send me pictures of it as it's being built. He told me 3-4 weeks since it's not what they normally build but is on the standard frame. He also told me no money down and if when they are done I don't like it, I don't have to buy it. He's saying that because I told him I just wanted the gooseneck hooked to the two beams and the axles, no deck structure whatsoever and I'd build my own tilt deck. For what they offered to do it for it ws hard to pass up. They do nice dump trailers so they obviously know how to make a good tilt machanism.

I'll keep you guys posted as to how the progress goes.

 

Drove to Salem Saturday morning and picked up the trailer and brought it back. It tows very nicely. I couldn't even tell it was behind the truck except when braking since I found out my brake controller doesn't appear to be working. I had to stop a few times to torque the lugs down (as they recommended) and noticed that the trailer sat on an pretty good angle behing the truck putting most of the pressure on just the rear wheel. We did have to mess with the gooseneck hitch but still keep it so it clears the truck when we hooked it up for the first time. With some measurements, height testing on 4x4's and 2x6's and beautiful weather here on Sunday .. the trailer got a spring over so that it now sits perfectly level with the truck.


I'm also drawing up plans to build a 4' extension on the back to be used as a ramp to decrease the approach angle. They told me it would be 15-20 degrees approach angle but even before the spring over it was more than 45 and I can't pull the car up on that. I need 20 degrees max for the car and with a little caculating, 4' more deck will get me where I need to be.

 

Wow, thats a pretty tall trailer

 

VERY nice looking trailer~! Just a piece of info you may find helpful; Swapping the springs to a spring-over set up is ok, but only if you remove the original spring perches and re-weld them onto the opposite side of the axle. Axles are cambered to off-set the weight they're designed to carry, and merely flipping them over to achieve the spring-over conversion will most likely cause their failure. Tire wear is apt to be increased as well. Even with a proper spring-over conversion, spring shackle and hangar bushings tend to wear out at a much faster rate due to the increased leverage of the axle being so far away from the springs.

Good luck with the new trailer!

chaikwa.

 

Thanks for the info. I did notice the bow in the axles while doing the swap. I didn't want to cut anything until I had a chance to look it over and make sure it was still going to work. I will get a new set of perches and weld them on so that I'll have them on both sides in case I ever sold it and it was to be reverted back to spring under. It's a 14k trailer but it will rarely see over 3.5k load on it (8k total weight). Hopefully that will help with the longevity of the axle components and tires.
