need some opinions

Been looking for a trailer for a couple days now. Something like this. Plan is to move back to Idaho in 3 years so this would be best of both worlds being able to haul my junk back north, hold a car when I need it, put the sleds in, the harley, tools etc... This is a good price too but have to go to Indiana to get it (oh well, road trip).

Am either looking for something like this or possibly a v-nose gooseneck (haul more junk lol)

Chris,

Not sure this will help, but hey you never know ....

I used to deliver tour buses, ambulances and EMS trucks, custom rigs, etc., out of Elkhart (Goshen Coach) with a friend of mine .... they sub-contract out the deliveries to all over the US. You might be able to have one of them them bring it part of the way or meet them to pick it up.


Just an idea.

As long as you're considering a unit made in Indiana, why don't you give the folks at Interstate 1 a call. They're just a tad further north and they saved us a TON of money when we had the fire safety trailer custom built. We paid less for the custom build than we were getting quotes from other manufacturers on units that were already built.

the drive in drive out is awesome for sleds, bikes, and wheelers. and having multiple entrance points is always nice for unloading all of your junk lol.

a buddy of mine has a rear entrance enclosed trailer and always offers to take it on our snowmobilin trips, then we have to drag our sleds backwards, and for some reason my sled is always the one that goes in first. now we take my 4 place open trailer with covers!!

have a few buddies back home with enclosed sled trailers. was nice to be able to have the sleds already warm and just drive off and haul ****.

have the larger axles to carry a car is a plus too. I think after taxes and paying a couple bills off I am gonna go for it. also bought a sweet MATCO 6S from a member here so I need to head to Montana here soon and pick it up

I think Interstate has a plant in southern UT as well

Here is another top of the line unit, with plants in Ut and PHX:

Make sure you put these(with disc brakes or coarse) under what ever you get:

http://dexteraxle.com/i/u/1080235/f/...sion_12-10.pdf

I am going to install 2-3 of them under the toybox I'm getting ready to build.. I plan on 16' of garage (w/partition), 16' of flat living quarters with an additional 8' of bunk over the neck..

You thinkin' tongue, GN or 5vr?

Gee I now have a new title..

If you want sled-ability you could still do a side drop and have quarters both.. I know its not the same as a v nose but it would work..

Don't those dang things have a reverse? the age old cage does
