Buy you a REAL truck. 7.3 PS .Then you could pull just about any trailer.

aint a fan of the smokers. diesel is too damn high too.

Lee Haulmart and Wells Cargo are great trailers they are ownwd by the same company, Pace is a great trailer I worked for them over 18 years but parts will be hard to find for them now after they went out business but they may be reopening under a different company not sure yet but will more than likely be next year before we know.

i read over on YB that haulmark was a POS,but thats why i asked on here for opinions.i also read some bad reviews on Vintage trailers. i had a ETT trailer,not a high end deal but it did'nt have any problems.

Lee the companies make 2 different lines with is higher price now days the not so good cheap line that what most by ans axpect to get top of the line

Buy one you can look at before you buy. I rented a 24' bumper to move my stuff across Canada. It was nice and light, aluminum sides, v nose all that jazz but little things like jack placement was all wrong. Couldn't crank it fast without busting your knuckles, couldnt pull out or back into a driveway without rubbing the bottom of the jack... Just food for thought

Lee,

You have a great trailer dealer just a few miles south of you. Lance Brannon Trailer sales in Rogersville, Al. About 20 minutes west of Athens. He has a decent inventory and has used trade ins all the time.

I bought my '03 model 28' Vintage from him. I looked at one of the plain base trailers on his lot and he agreed to order me one for the same price plus some options I wanted. Best wiring and lighting package, electric tongue jack, extended ramp flap. Left it with a plain floor and used 2 part garage epoxy paint. My father-in-law and I put the cabinets in ourselves instead of the spendy $$$ premade cabinets.

In hindsight I wish I would have upgraded to 16" wheels/tires and got a spare tire well in the floor. Not for a spare, but to keep rarely used spare parts. Starter, etc.

If you would only take one recommendation, I would not buy an enclosed trailer without 16" tires.

yall would'nt be f****n up my thread would you?

If I was looking for a trailor I would watch racing junk closely.There are some really nice deals come up on there from time to time.I bought the black one I have now off there for a song.The only thing wrong with it was the big chevy stickers it has on the side.
