Trailer needed but What brand
Trailer needed but What brand
I need to purchase a 5x12, 6x12 or 7x12 trailer to haul my two sport atvs and occasionally my sportbike. I probably will go with the 6x12 but im having a hard time with brands. From my understanding, Pace and Haulmark is the best but a dealer told me Carmate. He said that Carmate was the best based on their warranty. I checked out their site and their warrany is much better than Haulmark and Pace but I just dont know. Carmate offers Lifetime warranty on the roof, floor and LEDs. The remaining of the warranty is 3 years except for 5years on the axle.
I have a Carmate enclosed 6x12 for my mobile DJ business, and I love it. Other than some minor wiring issues I haven't had any problems with it at all, and it's been traveling to about 100 jobs a year for over 8 years. I went with the Carmate becuase of the 1-piece roof. I couldn't have any leaks the equipment I have in it.
Ok I'm bringing this back from the dead seeing how many people on here own toys (atvs, dirtbikes, UTV, etc).
Here's the deal I need a 6x12 or 7x12 enclosed single axle trailer. I would like to know what brands to stay away from and why. I have it narrowed down to Pace and Haulmark (I get this feeling that these are the two best) but I'm open to other brands.
Besides brand I would like to know what should I be looking for b4 making this purchase such as a ramp door, etc. Thanks

I bought a Big Tex 5x14 with a drop ramp brand new for 1200 bucks a few years ago(02 or 03 I believe). I use it primarily for the quads (4x and sport bike). Pretty basic trailer. I'm still running the original wheel bearings but I do pack them every spring. Put a set of heavy duty 6ply tires on it and upgraded the lights to LED's. It's been a great trailer and have never had any issues with it.
Next trailer though will definitely be a min. 6'wide. The 5x14 is a snap to pull around and manueveur but I would rather be able to put the quads on sideways so I could carry 3 or 4 then for the trail ride get togethers
Here's a couple pics

Nice concrete driveway btw.
Ones a shed 14x16 and the others the garage 24x24. I did the ole' classic of not building the garage big enough. Total of 43 yrds of concrete. It really made it nice

I've always ben partial to Wells Cargo. This is my second, their Road Force brand. 6x10 came with plywood walls and e-trax installed, plus V-front is better on mileage and gives extra storage room. I haul a hot air balloon, so like the DJ, I can't afford any leaks.
