a friend of mine is loking at buying a 24' enclosed trailer wants to spend somewhere in the 7-10g range. it has to be available from a dealer in the northwest as well.

can you guys give me your opinions on who makes the best trailer for that kind of money? who should he stay away from?

any info is appreciated. he doesnt want to end up with junk.

Look at Roadmaster.

I like and use Pace, stay away from the Haulmark brand. Do you have access to the National dragster? If so look up the dealers, all of them, in the southeast and shop around. There is one dealer down there who will delivered one of his for under $500.00 U.S. BTW, most of the bigger trailer makers have factorys all over the U.S., Pace has one in Hurricane,UT, Wells Cargo has one on Logden, UT also and the list goes on As far as prices I don't have clue on the current prices, sorry

Chris, check out racing junk.......lots of smokin deals there.
I think Freeway trailer sales in WA state advertises there as well.

Trailer weight rating is a important item to look at when buying a trailer, new or used. 7,000 lb. one will have smaller tires , which isn't bad , just don't over load it and travel long distance without a few spares. 10,000 lb. is the way to go. The lenght is like , get one bigger than you think you'll need , then make sure you go the truck to pull it safely.

Don't buy a trailer with 15" wheels, 16" only. My

I bought a Vintage Outlaw, 24', in that price range,,and really like the trailer.
Heavy duty axles, diamond plate, full flooring, cabinets with work bench, light package, etc,

A United Super Hauler 24ft would be in that price range and be loaded. A friend paid 12k for his 28 foot Super Hauler and he got a TON of options...cabinets, 30 amp service, wired and braced for AC, Carpet wainscotting, rubber coin floor, 6" extra height, extra LED's ( bunch of them), and an extended motorhome tounge.

Well I found that trailers in this part of the cpuntry, particularly in the northwest are higher. When I inquired as to why I was told the units manufactured up there carry a 10-15% increase in the cost of materials and transportation to the are. I found the prices of trailer out here to be 10-15% higher. I bought my mast two from the midwest and had them delivered,. it was cheaper than buying off a lot out here. I had great luck with R&M trailers in Oklahome, he gave me a great deal and with delivery saved me $5000 on my last one. He is a racer as well and knows what racers are looking for in trailers.

last year i bought a 24' 10,000 lb cargo mate from olympic trailer in olympia. added drivers side escape dr and electric tongue jack for $7000.00 with tax included. seems to be pretty good trailer

I liked my Haulmark...its a less expensive trailer,
big concern should be the axles and accessories thats
where your money will go
