I use a remote from harbor freight on our winch. It works awesome. I can stand anywhere within about 50ft and run the winch.

I just picked up a 32 foot bumper pull, it has a small kitchen and bath in it. It came from an insurance auction because it got 6 inches of water in it from a flood down south somewhere. It was way less then 1/2 price of new and it's only 3 years old. Salvage title don't bother me when I can save 15 grand. 😎

In 2004 I practically stole a custom Exiss 40 ft. They sold me the aluminum to line the inside.
Came home mounted my onan 7k camper genset. Air compressor and ran air and electric throughout. Built my divider with sliding door and a big tool box at samsclub. Ordered water tanks and built the LQ myself. Never completely finished trim around bunk. All said an done had $35k in it. The garage is/was as nice as it gets. The lq needs work. The head board and panelling never got finished. Paneling needs redoing.

It pays to have the patience to shop around. I have friends who own Atlantic Coast Trailer Sales in Mass. See if they can help you. (I wish they were closer to me in FL. frown )

Atlantic Coast Trailers

Has anyone said "WHY" they won't put an escape door in? I can see how it might weaken the structure & flex if not done right. But it shouldn't be an issue if properly reinforced. I love my escape door in my 2006 Pace. I don't need it at the races to get in and out, but the regular door is on the opposite side of the house.

I always figure on getting something 2' longer than you think you need.

If you have door clearance issues, I know a long time racer who had a raise ramp inside the trailer which also allowed more room under the car to work on it! Does raise the center of gravity though.

In 2004 I ordered a Millenium (made by Vintage) to the specs I wanted, 32' LQ trailer cost $24K. I am sure they are more by now, but they have specials all the time.

IMO looks at Intech trailers. Basically same as an ATC. Becker does nice stuff but they are really proud of their trailers. IMO shop brands NOT price. Not all makes are equal and when you start looking at them closer you can see the differences in construction materials and fit and finish.

FWIW I have purchased my last two trailers from R&M Trialers and been treated very well. Great pricing and service. I have used Cargomate he last two times and am looking at Intech and ATC this time. Wish I could swing Goldrush or T&E though

I have never seen an Intech in person but they sure look nice in the photos. Sides are incredibly straight.

Sold my Haulmark and bought an Intech. Best trailer I've ever had. Trailer prices usually reflect customization, aluminum/steel thickness, and general overall quality.

A friend purchased an Intech and I thought he was crazy for what he spent. I went and looked at it and bought an Intech 5 months later and spent $10k more than him. Best quality I've ever seen and 100% custom. Every single bolt, bolt, support everything is aluminum. My 38' weighes 4,600 lbs. empty. My 40' Haulmark weighed 8,900 empty.

Intech and ATC are similar in build and quality. Both are built in the same town. Hard to beat either one.
