What do you think about this trailer

[YotaOnRocks]

Used 23' Gooseneck trailer, 95-1/2" wide with 2' beavertail and 6' twin ramps, 7200# Torflex tandem axles, steel deck and bulkhead, electric brakes, break-away control and a pair of drop legs. He is asking 2800 for it. Does it seem like a good deal? I have to drive about 6 hrs to see/buy it so I thought I'd get some of your opinions first.

Seems like a great deal.

Thats what I was thinking I'm still waiting for guy to call me back but I hope to get it. Just thought I'd see if I was missing anything obvious.

what's the plan for the trailer? Camper/toy hauler, squeezing two rigs on???

 

[johnnymac]

Looks almost too cheap, maybe just a guy who got in a pinch and needs some cash. Jump on it!

 

[YotaOnRocks]

for now hauling my one rig and a camper/toyhauler setup later if possible.

 

[Yay!Gurrr]

I'd ask about the manufactured and the frame construction etc.

Otherwise looks like a good deal.

I thought the general consensus was to stay away from the torsional axles ... as they will lose torsional strength, droop, and have to be completely replaced?

 

[YotaOnRocks]

What should frame be made of 5 or 6 inch channel? I haven't ever heard anything neg about torsion axles but sounds possible. Would that be a prob for me since it is not a trailer I would use much maybe 2 or 3 times a month.

 

[YotaOnRocks]

Well I put the deposit on it today going to go get it in a week or two and it has 8 or 10 inch channel for the frame(he didn't have a tape measure on him) and the manufacturer was pace or something like that can't remember exactly but its a 2000 model. And it is a company selling it sad they had several and not enough work for them all. They have a 19ft almost identical if anyone else is looking.

Any regular trailers 18-19'?

 

[YotaOnRocks]

No just that 19 ft gooseneck.

Torsion axles are a big plus on a box trailer, they pull really well. Never heard of them on a gooseneck but seems like it would work well as long as it dosn't get overloaded. Same thing that holds up the front of my chevy 2500.

Same thing that holds up the front of my chevy 2500.

Your 2500 has a torsion bar suspension, NOT a torsion axle...
