Title: good trailer suppliers?
Post by: wheelchairman on 03/21/08 - 09:07PM
I am in the market for a new trailer. I currently have a 16ft tandem axle no brakes and no dovetail I need a 21-24ft tandem with brakes on at least 1 axle. With my willys nearing completion and already having the yamaha we can't fit both on a 16ft trailer.

Does anyone know of a place to get what I need fairly cheap?

I am sure that somebody else will know some great places.  I have heard that Branson Trailers (www.bransontrailersales.com/) are reasonable, but you get what you pay for.  From what I understand, that dont really cut corners, they just dont have all the bells and whistles, liking painting under the deck.  Anyway, I know some guys in the club have some of their trailers, maybe they will post up.

Heard good things about this place

Just stay away from the place in Puducah TN that offers Ebay trailers. Not very customer courtius and not of the best of quality, BUT they do have a good price

yup once I find a suitable replacement in my price range I will sell my 16ft trailer. It was recently re-done it has new fenders,deck (2x8), jack,wiring,lights and I painted it Yamaha blue. It has good tires with a good spare but the wheels are UGLY!

I built fenders supports that make an L so the fenders are strong enough to be used as steps onto the trailer.

I hope this works on posting pix.
Just be careful on buying a trailer. I just went through a bad trailer experiance that turned out OK in the end. I bought a trailer sight unseen (due to being deployed) and paid near $1700. This is what I got

Went through the process of I don't think so I want my money back and then found this for right at $1800

I know that this thread is over a year old but thought I would throw in my 2 cents for future buyers reading old forums. I have found that Wildcat Rental on highway 60 on the way to Rogersville from Springfield is very hard to beat from a price/quality standpoint. All the trailers that they sell are the same ones that they use for their rentals so they come with the heavier axle etc. Just thought I would throw that out there!
