best aluminum trailer
I'm looking to buy a new trailer probably a bumper pull but possibly a fifth wheel for my race car. I want a really good quality trailer I don't have to work on constantly because it keeps falling apart. In other words something that's built to last and doesnt use plywood panels etc. I know there's a few brands that are better than everybody else like T & E and gold rush . I would like to keep the price around $30,000. Does anybody have any suggestions there's a ton of Manufacturers out there

Re: best aluminum trailer
I don't have an aluminum trailer but just from afar the InTechs sure look nice.
ATC seems to have a good reputation as well I don't know where you live but Rich's company sure seems to move a lot of trailers all over the country, I have to assume he prices aggressively. http://www.rmtrailer.com/ I bought my Classic many years ago from Flying A and was treated well. http://www.flyingamotorsports.com/ Let us know what you decide on.

Re: best aluminum trailer
T & E is nice but about double your budget. I bought a Middlebrook in 2011 and it was really nice and way under your budget.

Re: best aluminum trailer
I bought a 22' bumper pull ATC in 2012. It was not cheap ($27K). Trailer tows good and looks nice from 10' away, but the fit and finish is terrible. Really disappointed in the trailer overall. For another couple grand, I could have bought a Gold Rush...

Re: best aluminum trailer
i was looking at atc and intech as well. That was my number one criteria ; build quality .something that is welded together uses quality materials and aircraft rivets etc. I'm an aircraft welder ,sheet metal guy plus i do a lot of machine work and metal fab in my shop. some of these trailers look nice untill you really start looking at them. i was really impressed by a gold rush trailer i looked at recently as far as how the structure was built

Re: best aluminum trailer
I bought a 24 foot ATC bumper pull in 2011 and picked it up at the factory. Cabinets across the front, all aluminum floor, walk-on roof, uninsulated and not lined. Paid $17K. I considered a Gold Rush but they were over 25% more money for what appeared to be comparable quality.
Contrary to the problems Jeff Jewell experienced, I have not had any problems and am very happy with my ATC trailer. The aluminum frame on an ATC is hell for stout. I bought my trailer through Bob Resner in Duncan, Oklahoma. He was very helpful offering a lot of useful tips regarding options. Don't know if he is still a dealer. During and after my purchase I also interacted with numerous people at the ATC factory. All were very helpful and quick to respond. Couldn't be happier.
