I have not found anything like i might even consider to own in stock anywhere and if you call them about ordering one, they all say .. 6-8 months and we won't do anything custom ( even though the websites all say ,custom orders welcome ) Couple guys told me straight up, if its not a $50,000 trailer , we don't even mess with them any more .. times are good for trailer dealer I guess The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6

It was $6700 back then Then I saw that a new one would be 15-20k. I decided to spruce mine up. Lol Ok

At the time they said they had a couple in production, so I gave them a deposit to put my name on one. He said that if I didn't do that, it could be more than 12 weeks to get one. Hoping to get a call sooner than later to go and pick it up. Searched hard for a used one, but the prices are insane. He did say last week that they got a black v nose 24' in that was for sale, but likely gone already. The prices are good if you are willing to take a ride. Ask manufacturer that you decide on what the on center is for the framing, cheaper ones are 24" on center with the better ones 16". Good luck!

I had all kinds of extras. Cabinets, white metal inside, black and white floors, ac and 50 amp service, generator door electric over hydraulic jack, two 7000 axles with 16” tires. It’s been stored inside since day one. I don’t thinks it’s ever been wet from the rain. What is it worth? Right now it’s a storage bin for my sisters furniture.

It sold right away, and Im out in the middle of nowhere, guy was very willing to travel. Oddest part was that I had been looking for a bigger trailer for a few months, and ended up finding this one 6 miles from my house! Sometimes it pays to advertise locally for one.

Looks like they got a few 28' Continental Cargo trailers listed in stock. Good people to work with. Their web site list "in stock" trailers w/ pictures & price. Brian

You might get 85% of what you paid for it? They are not getting any cheaper!

You might also check with Rich at R&M Race Trailers (https://www.rmtrailer.com/). They are in Cushing OK and folks come from all over the country to buy trailers from him. I am sure it is a real buyer beware deal but I see quite a few trailers for sale on Facebook Marketplace.
