anyone have any advice to give or something to share so i know what to look out for and what is good? any advice you guys could give me would be great!

also, i'm looking into either 18' or 20' what would be a good price range for something like this and anyone recommend some good brands?

buy a 24 only a little more money but room for suplies (beer,pizza,tool box) and resale is way better.

Are you looking for new or used. My dad owns a place on 9 mile and i 94 and he sells enclosed trailers. Youd have to order the traier, but his prices are the best around. The name of the place is Shores Trailer. Its between kelly and i 94

man i just caught that........i better change it.

crazyfastbird93; he sells enclosed trailers huh! i have to work all day tomorrow or today as it is...........any chance of you asking him what he has for 18-20' and what range. it would save me a great amount of time that i wouldn't forget. that or if you could at least give me your name so i have some sort of reference with him would be really good.

also, those of you who have trailers; which is better the square version or a tapered? obviously tapered would pull easier, but is there that much of a difference?

for a 18ft with a side door, stone guard, roof vent, and a heavy duty spring assisted ramp door you're looking at $4195 plus tax. For a 20' its $200 more and every foot after that is an extra $100 a foot. But remember this, the larger the trailer the less weight you can put inside of it. These trailers come with 2 3500# torsion axles, so that makes a 7000# gvw minus the weight of the trailer and the car. Say if the trailer weighs 3000#'s you can only haul a combined weight of car and other junk which adds to 4000#'s If you have anymore questions you can call and talk to him, his name is Gunther the number is 777-7733. Tell him you talked to Nick on the internet

One thing I forgot to mention is that this is the end of the year and he isn't keeping the car haulers in stock becaus there isnt a big call for them right now. It would have to be ordered and would take about 4 weeks. These trailers also come with a light inside

United is a very nice trailer! if you want to see what a 24" United Expressline "racers special" looks like, give me a hollar. I can show you mine,

If you have the extra cash, i say go with the bigger trailer. 100% worth the money. We were looking at 20 footers and choose the bigger trailer for just the fact that you have the option of storage. You would be surprised how fast it fills up with tools, tires, cleaning supplies, etc, etc, etc... We already are looking at cabinets for ours,

But, give me a hollar if you want to come check it out.

Email me

Joe
