Trailer Dealers
Anyone on here a trailer dealer ?
Will be in need of a trailer 28-32ft tag, or 38-48 gooseneck before next season, pricing around at this point. Or anyone got a place they got a great deal on a trailer ? I want something plain that I plan to do all the work to. thanks :D |
My dad and I have both bought trailers from Proline. they sell on here in the new trailer section and you get a good deal if you pick it up in Elkhart IN.

Dave,
We have dealt with a guy by the name of Marlin Stubbs on Vintage trailers. His deal is simple and you will just need to go to Elkhart to pick up. Remind me this week and I will IM you the phone number. |
i was in the market for a trailer a few months back and learned a lot...just be careful what you are buying and make sure all the right Questions are answered such as ,what lb axles,the on center build..
Horton and Pace are just two brands that are top of the line....many cheap made knock off's out there that will not last. Pay me NOW or Pay me more later :shock: |
THE BEST TRAILER FOR THE MONEY WOULD BE A CLASSIC TRAILER MADE IN MICHIGAN THEIR WEBSITE IS WWW.CLASSICMFG.COM 1-800-826-1960 ASK FOR WADE WOLF AND TELL HIM THAT WILLIS PRICE TOLD YOU TO TALK TO HIM PERSONALLY. I LIVE IN ARLINGTON TEXAS AND USED TO WORK FOR HIM SELLING TRAILERS ON THE NHRA,IHRA, AND THE ASCS SPRINT CAR SERIES THEY ARE A LITTLE MORE PRICEY HOWEVER THEY ARE VERY WELL MADE. GOOD LUCK CHECK OUT THEIR WEBSITE.

These posts are pretty much spot on - Elkhart is the trailer building mecca for some reason. My new Cargo Mate is a Forest River product, they make several brands and price ranges. Classic makes a very nice steel trailer, but the nicest steel ones IMHO are from Motiv, built by ATC. I know of a very good deal on an all aluminum ATC 40' w/small sleeping quarters, shower and toilet. Very nice trailer worth the money. I would have bought it had I not already ordered new. Good luck with your search, remember for the dragster little or no beavertail and get the dropped axles, and extra height helps (longer door). 8) JB

Can't lock the side door because it's misaligned. First time I unloaded my car the floor molding across the back of the trailer moved causing several of the screws to push, not pull, out of the floor. Now I have side markers falling of because the bolts are broken. Very unhappy with the Proline after sale response. Basically the trailer and PROLINE suck! Churchill www.3cracing.com |
I bought a Legend horse trailer for my wife all aluminum, 3horse slant with living quarters. It was a little higher but well worth the money. Pulls like a dream, everything opens and closes like a vault. She told me everywhere she goes someones trying to buy it. I'd have to give 5 stars for Legend.

jones rv and trailer, classic dealer you wont find a better deal on a classic trailer 84 p.a

Hey Dave,
Check with Chris Barker at Barker Trailer Sales. He is awsome to deal with!!! I bought a new 44' Pace from him and never even had to go to his office. I ordered it straight from him and then went to the factory in northern Indiana to pick it up. He is really a great guy to deal with, not to mention a fellow drag racer. Just my opinion??? |
Have you tried Detro trailer sales in Bainbridge IN? Call them 800-407-6477,their one of the largest stocking dealers in the US and very nice to deal with!!

A dragster will rub at the peak of the beaver tail even if the trailer is jacked up. A trailer with a flat floor once you get the door level with the floor the dragster will load with no trouble.

That works if you don't have a dragster dolly. I built a dolly that you put under the nose of the dragster, it lifts the dragster about 18" off the ground in the front and has two tires. I bought a little trailer dolly from Checker and adapted it for my son's dragster. Works great, and you don't hardly have to raise the nose of the trailer and the beaver tail is no problem either.

Thats what I do but have used a dolly before either way works. |
I know I asked for the info a few years ago.
I finally pulled the trigger on a new trailer a few weeks ago. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/a...b/xl_ac_sc.jpg 28ft Interstate Super Coach with a few upgrades should be done first week in April :D |

Pressure Treated marine plywood is best.

Here is what I did today .. Epoxy Flooring, several people have used this stuff and love it. I figured i'd give it a try.
