Who's been thinking about upgrading? Looking for something in good condition, preferably 18'

Thanks for the heads up! I'll have to check out the fender width. I'd really like to find something with drive over fenders or extra wide but those seem few and far between

Deals on trailers are few and far between.  Be careful about older trailers that haven’t had the axles or hubs properly maintained.  Most of the time you’re ahead of the game to buy new or from someone that you know.  Good luck.

this ^^^ I looked time and time again when I was ready to go bigger and it never came out right $ wise to try and make something work. Find a good dealer, do a little haggling and get what you want right out of the gate and never worry about it again. You can find PJs or Big Tex brand new for sub $4k for drive overs, you just gotta look.

Thats what I’m quickly realizing with a lot of these used ones. Not much cheaper than new and definitely not cheap enough to make up for shoddy maintenance.

I saw recommendations in the trailer thread for Ace and Trailer World (Commerce). Any other places anyone would recommend? I called a few out of state places in TX but they wanted like $600 or more to ship. I figured close to the border in TN or AL would help with tax

I was about to pull the trigger on a new trailer when I found mine. I’ll second that deals on nice trailers are few and far between.
