Buying sled trailer

[snochuk]

Looking at getting an enclosed 4 place 26'-28'. Stealth and FOT trailers seem to be the cheapest. It would only go to the mountains about 4 tmes a year, still use decks in spring.
You get what you pay for but I really dont need a $25K Ttitan railer. Heated OK but not a necessity, would prefer insulation even if cheap bead board filler.

Any suggesstions on what won't fall apart to quickly in the 15-17K range. No heated trailer in this range unless used but really looking at new unless some one knows of a hot deal not over 5 years old.

Any advice on people's trailer comments/experience/ dealers would be appreciated.

Its a deal because its priced on last years stronger dollar.

I bought the heated one.

Allen Dale and Kramer both sell alcom trailers. I think Allendale still had some 2014's.

2016's are 30k!

I had a 28' enclosed V-nose from FOT, bought new in 07 and sold it last year to a friend here. The trailer was awesome and never had an issue. I would buy from them again in a heartbeat. Also mine was a basic, with no heat, shelves etc....

Picked up a Royal XR 4 place deck over this summer from Kevin at Flaman in Edmonton (Yellowhead Location) Length is 22 ft + 4 ft vnose. 2 x 6000 lbs axles. Mine is not insulated or heated, I personally don't require it. Was around $14 500+GST. Will see how it holds out, but looks to be constructed well. My 2 cents

i've owned a Steel Frame Charmac, an Aluminum Wells Cargo, and an Aluminum Mission. They all were good to me.

Canadian $$ is really hurting trailer prices now - wow!!!

I recommend to look at the mission, gts sells them in grassland, they tow easy, all aluminum, and well built. I am on my second one, needed it 2 ft bigger so hands down went with another mission.

This is a mission 16'. In it I have 2 154" Freerides, a 163"skidoo, and a 162"(0r 163) Yamaha. We figure a 174" would still fit, instead of the 163. If the Yamaha left, maybe 2.

Before this I had a steel 24'. It rusted after about 4 years and was too big to turn around up the mountain in most places. This mission is sold as a 3 place, but I've managed to squeeze in 4. Being aluminum it's light enough that with a few guys I think I could hand bomb it around up the hill (although I haven't yet), and no rust. I've had it for three or four seasons. I'm a fan. Although it's more expensive.

Is that a 20' trailer then? 16' plus 4' for the Vee?

 

[Murminator]

With exchange and shipping probably still come in under budget

 

[kfrey]

Yes, it's called a 16', but is 20' total.

Had a 22+4 Royal for 5 years, all steel, but was starting to rust pretty good so it was time to get rid of it. Own a 24+4 Mission now and very happy with the all aluminum.

Both are steel frame alum skin

I'm very happy with the Mission, Which is made by Alcom, who also makes a few other brands like SnoPro and HighCountry. Just made on different quality levels you could say. Debra at FFUN here in town was great to deal with.

Just something to keep in mind. 6 years ago when we bought our first enclosed we thought we just wanted an enclosed trailer to keep everything out of the elements and locked up securely. The following year we started looking at options we wanted since we had the enclosed. Started out by Rino coating the floor because the carbides were chewing it up, following year we found we wanted E-tracking to make it easier to tie down sleds, rather then having ratchet straps strung out all over the place. The we needed super glides. the next year heat was needed, that way we could dry sleds and gear. Also that year we needed more cabinets and better lighting. Then you start looking at things like wishing you had the extra 6" of hight so if you're tall, you're not banging your head. When it was time to sell the trailer I wanted to get the aluminum so hopefully I can a few more years out of it. So I bit the bullet and ordered mine the way I wanted it. Heat, dryers, cabinets, stereo, bench seat, work tables, heavier axles, escape door (in case I want to haul my car). Extra height in case I get a side by side some day..... And would you believe there is still things now I wish I had ordered it with that I missed!!

Ive had one of these for years now and its been good to me if I was to do it again it would be idenical car hauler(pulls better) heavy axels, heat, tool box, bench, and lots of cabinets and shelves.

So far FOT has the best pricing and for what a looked after used trailer is (I'm hoping mine doesn't depreciate much either!) I'm looking at getting new 26' trailer with heat, two tone, undercoated and alum rims on 5200 axels. Working on 2 - 4' cabinets.

Married the right girl.

Thanks for all of the responses - will post a pic when delivered.
