You should consider Kenny Anderson at Fast Farm Trailers. I'm over 3000 miles away from Kenny but he has helped me and others with trailers and accessories.

When investing in a trailer I was able to buy a Goldrush first. I bought a stripped down unit. Bench, winch and tie downs. A battery for the break away brakes and 12 volt lights. No liner on the walls. It sold for the same money I paid 10 years later. It was fantastic. I bought another with lights, Changer and lining, winch and cabinets. Never had a tire problem as it was so light.
Bought a T and E Stacker used wonderful unit no porblems. Built another EXCELLENT. Sold for purchase price.
Tires use 16.5 on BIG trailers . Better lasting. Dont curb any of the tires below this size they are GONE.
If you can afford buy the Aluminum trailers, keep them nice and they will cost less in the long run. Resale in past kept up with the new prices.
26 ft is good for single car with room for golf cart across or longer.

Dick is right on target -- if your budget can stand it a Goldrush or Motorsport is the way to go .Five or ten years from now you'll still have a nice trailer that will be worth more than you paid new . And as a plus if you're going on the road it won't fall apart after a year or two -- ask any 'touring sportsman' racer .Even in this economy they're a great buy -- a used one might be in your reach if you can't afford new .

I have a 2001 Classic RTX I bought new from Flying A and I have really liked it.

I have a friend that had a Pace, he did quite a bit if research before he got another trailer and he ended up getting a Classic also.

Good Luck,
Bill

Your initial outlay may be greater but with a Featherlight or Goldrush it will be better in the long run. A lighter trailer, won't rust, and resale is great.

I made the mistake of buying a cheap off-brand and within 6 months the doors sagged, ramp didn't fit right and had 4 flat tires ( they used wheels that had been sitting in the warehouse so long that the valve stems rotted ).

No matter whose trailer you decide to go with, get the largest most heavy duty tire you can fit under your trailer

Greg is correct! ATC trailers are light, cheap, and tow great. You can save a lot of fuel with a lighter trailer.
