Who do you guys like for custom trailers?

Looking for somthing to carry all my crap in and be able to stay overnight. I need 18ft for the car and 6ft for the four wheeler....My trailer measures 23'6" inside, and with the Cuda it all just fits. Kinda giving up on an RV or Toterhome as an option...Too expensive, and in most cases not able to pull the weight.

Looking for somthing in the $25k range that can haul my car and four wheeler and has a bathroom/shower and generator door and an escape door. Had some quotes, and most will not put an escape door in or if they do quote it, the trailer is $41k!

So far I recieved quotes from Becker Custom trailers, probably the nicest ones I have seen and Millennium Trailers...Waco Bill refuses to put an escape door in....I just don't seem to be able to get everything to line up.

There has to be a trick to this.

I just order a custom United 26 footer from Bob Jones RV here in Pa and should be picking it up hopefully by late March. I am picking it up in Indiana to save a few bucks. I have 2 acres of hilly property so I couldn't go bigger plus I haul with a class A motorhome on long weekends. Check out United Trailers on their website.

Hello Dracula. I see your from NY. Have you heard of Mike olsefski. He may be able to help you. Also, have you raced at skyview? Your car and trailer look familiar. They used to have a pretty good program up there. Been rough the last couple years.

I know a sales guy (Ed Stevens) at Advantage Trailers in Chicago, they build custom trailers for bikes and cars. No idea if their prices are in line with Becker or Millenium though. They're currently at the Chicago motorcycle show displaying some of their builds.

Have you looked for a used one? I found a 2014 36' goose neck with an escape door and an aftermarket shower & toilet installed that is in almost like new condition. I really think I stole it for way less then what you have been quoted on a new one. It's a Stealth brand so look into those. I actually found mine on Craigslist and it was listed under campers because that what the guy used it for. He hauled a bike and a 4 wheeler in it and never a car!

Yes....And none of them with a shower/bathroom had an escape door...

Closest I found is in the link below..and its $29k, and 2ft longer than I need, and he ain't budging on price..I can get a brand new one at Waco Bills for the same price, and he won't put in an escape door either...

I understand the escape door makes it easier to get out but why not get a winch? You can winch the car in and out and not have to worry about being inside of it. The escape door is just something else to have problems and is another possible entry point for thieves.

I would second Mike Olsefski if your in the area I have bought several trailers from him over the past 15 years great guy. Also try Octane trailers in MI I have a Nash the people that built mine now have Octane. I have no complaints with my trailer other than it is too big for me now.

Cause I have one now, and it makes loaded and unloading awesome. Especially when it starts to rain....I only winch the car when its broken.

I kicked around getting the escape door but most of my car are to low to clear the fenders anyway and I'm not shoemakering lift boards on the floor. I climb out of the wind up window in my black duster and the other two I will winch in. I kinda feel that a door in the middle of a car trailer kinda weakens it but that's my thinking.

My GTX is right on the edge of being too low to have a side door, and no way the Road Runner will clear. I almost always winch the car in. It's just easier on the clutch also.

Try these guys. Escape door $350. A people on YB had good things to say about them. I don't think they do the living quarters but it may be cheaper to buy the shell you want and do a sleeping quarters yourself.

Not a fan of the escape door either. I don't think I ever had anything in my trailer that the door would open over the fenderwell anyway. I have always used a winch

Being a one man race team I've been winching all my race cars onto trucks and into and out of my enclosed race car trailers since the early 1990s up twocents
This is the United States of America so you can do it any way you like, currently, for the next 4 to 8 yrs whistling devil stirthepot
As far as a new race trailer I would like to have what your talking about, 32 to 38 ft. gooseneck or fifth wheel with a bathroom, bed, frig and eating and sitting area under 14,000 Lbs. loaded going down the road to the races up

I'd say 25K buys you a newer used Vintage or Continental Cargo, or an older ATC, etc. I bought a used trailer awhile back and went through that dilemma. Buy a newer lower/midline trailer or an older high line. I went with the latter and picked up an older ATC all aluminum trailer with LQ's. Haven't regretted it, as the higher line trailers build quality is far superior.

Off topic but if you do have a winch in your trailer and have the front button or wired remote look into one of these. Several guys on Yellowbullet recommended this and I love it. At the touch of a button you can run your winch from anywhere around the trailer.
