I am about to give up looking for a DECENT used trailer. I found two options NEW that are pretty close in price to what people seem to expect for used.
For under $2000, I have two options. I can get a galvanized steel Loadrite Elite, single axle, no breaks. It's rated just at my est. load weight with fuel but the place selling it -- Pirate Marine -- tells me it can hold more, it's just that they rate is <3000 because that way it doesn't need brakes. Or, choice 2, an aluminum Karavan single axle with surge breaks already installed, rated to carry 3100 lbs.
Anyway, I'm leaning toward the galvanized LoadRite Elite because of it being nearby, but does anyone here have experience / opinion on these manufactures? Both trailers look like pretty bare-bones setups.
