Finding the right trailer for the right price is being difficult. This is going to take a while.

I have seen some plans for an air-bagged enclosed trailer that an engineer mate built for ~A$6K in materials.

I guess by the time you paid a fabricator/welder and a sparkie to wire it, you might get to A$10K ......... worth a look ??

If you are interested, I can connect you to him ...........

Spooler 03-09-2018 01:49 PM
I found one at a reasonable price. Gotta take some measurements of the wifes car to ensure it will fit.

Spooler 03-09-2018 07:54 PM
Yeap, it will fit. I am going to need to think on this a bit. It is a 28' with 5200lb spread axles. Escape door, extended ramp, but no E-tracks. Can I get by without E-tracks without too much trouble?

You can install them yourself.

gomer_110 03-09-2018 08:45 PM
Any reason you can't add etracks yourself after the purchase? If it ticks all the other boxes it seems crazy not to jump on it especially if you can make it work without the etracks in the interim.

The front has cabinets and counter tops. I am still thinking on it. I just want to make sure I will use it enough to justify it. I think I will.

Spooler 07-02-2018 09:19 PM
This is back on the table. I will need to get it built to my specs to get what I want. The crazy part is it only takes 2 weeks. Not long at all.

Rusty 07-02-2018 09:32 PM
Who you going with?

Cargo Trailer Home | Southern Trailer Depot Cargo Trailer Sales in Douglas GA | Enclosed Trailers Georgia The place that DJTODD recommended. I am just getting baffled with all the specs. You can go crazy and get out of your budget quick.

Rusty 07-02-2018 10:10 PM

Just one, the Haulstar package.

jchammond 07-03-2018 02:25 AM
Back in early 2000; I bought a 7x14’ trl & used for a mobile repair shop,,,it had 7k gvw w/torsion axles.
The torsion axles were very easy on the cargo; as they really absorb the bumps,potholes,etc well.
Those trailers listed seem to be priced well. :)

RN SHARK 07-03-2018 08:46 AM
I’m going to look at a new Featherlite open trailer next week. Want the front road guard too. I need to keep my weight to a minimum, as my SRT Grand Cherokee tops out at 7200#. The few used ones I’ve found online aren’t much less than a new one. Anyone have experience with these?

Spooler 07-03-2018 12:47 PM
I don't. I have a 04' Dually diesel. I could care less about the weight. My LQ horse trailer is all aluminum and heavy as xxxx. That is what I classify as a heavy load.

-Add White Metal Ceiling Liner
-Add White Metal to Interior Walls
-Add Grey Indoor/Outdoor Carpet on
-Bottom Half Interior Walls


You see, it adds up quick....
I just got the quote. Just this little list double the price.

Spooler 07-05-2018 01:24 PM
I am looking at Blue Jay trailers. This is a trailer company a friend of mine has had dealings with. Several trailer companies build trailers in my home town where I graduated from High school. Not very many build quality trailers. Here is an example.

You aren't ever going to buy any. You can't make your mind up if they will fit or not. LOL. I thought you owned a tape measure. What kind of Engineer were you?
