TrailerPlus in Linwood?

[DSM Turbos]

Also had to rewire the trailer before we left, didn't have half the lights on it that are required by law, the deck boards were only held down with 1 screw at each crossmember, etc.

I was going to buy one from them, but after seeing yours up close, fawk no. There were about $1k worth of reasons why they were cheaper than a Kraftsman, and about $1k worth of reasons why a Kraftsman is cheaper than a PJ.

There were several other people that posted up in a thread on here with complaints about spring hangers pulling off and shit like that, too.

The lights were probably me and not them. Lets be honest, I hate electrical and at one point had an issue with a bulb and I think I then was messing with the wiring and may have messed it up. Lights are overrated!

Proline is the same as Kaufman

Planned on swinging by Kaufman Saturday as well even though I've seen plenty of them.

Same with Rampage or Ravager or wtfever they're called now in Wendell that used to be Proline.

My 2 year old T&W with 5200# axles can be had for a decent deal for somebody on here. Picking up an enclosed tomorrow.

They are rampant now I think.

I'll vouch for this trailer. Cyd's towed it twice as much as Todd has. It's only a little bit shitty.

Guess I'll have to go check it out then... I might even let you know when I'm in town...lol

So went by Trailers Plus today to look at the drive over fender 18ft trailer. Cliff notes; Carry On is the Manufacture their trailers, Dexter 5200lb brake ez-lube axles, Radial tire upgrade with 5 yr warranty, avg fit and finish, Paint had runs, tire upgrade with spare was 650, wiring was decent with a junction box up front but they still used wire tap on it in some spots. With the tire upgrade and spare your at 3800ish. They do offer free 6/12 month inspection with purchase and the tire warranty is good at any dealer location.

That's not true. Folks like Kaufman and PJ use a sealed harness.

That's what they advertise but it's still cheap junk.

I’ve got a PJ sitting in my yard right now and it’s far superior to Kaufman and far from “cheap junk”. My Dad has a Kaufman sitting next door if you’d like a side by side comparison.

 

[ProbablyBroke]

@BigSouth 's PJ is quite the hot rod. Easily the nicest trailer I've leaked gear oil on.

LOL! I have used it more than that!

Anybody have an opinion on how Gatormade stacks up against PJ.

I had researched Gatorade as well, they powdercoat their trailers and apparently have had issues with it flaking off. They also use Chinese axles.

I would rather have a painted trailer, easier to touch up and make it match.

They use dexter axles (unless the little trailers don't , I'm shopping for tandem dual trailers). I would prefer a painted trailer but several of the "good" ones seem to use powder coating.

I called and asked, their (8k at least) axles were the Libbert axles.

No need for me to compare I've already worked on both those manufacturers and many other trailers over the years. They are all cheap junk when it comes to wiring. Thanks for the invite to your place though.

Current quality. All lights are recessed within, surrounded by rubber grommets. All LED and beyond bright. Nothing hanging off the side or under a piece of angle iron to be knocked off or broken. By the way @Stuntman Autoworks you’re welcome by anytime.
