Re: roller trailer versus bunks
To me this is like asking if a horse or a fully functioning car is faster on the open road. Have had both and the roller trailer is superior in usability, ease of use in difficult conditions such as shallow ramp, inappropriate tow vehicle, short courtesy dock, heavy wind, poorly maintained ramp, etc for my needs. I have a full Shorlandr roller trailer for my Chaparral and can't count the number of times it has made my life at the ramps easier. This weekend, we had the way too short courtesy dock, sustained 40mph winds gusting higher blowing straight at us and bad ramp all at once while pulling out and the roller trailer saved us from certain dock rash. It was our most challenging ramp experience ever but our resort time was up and we had to go. I am always suprised there is even a question on this. Roller's are to me better technology. For every upside there is always a down side and yes you do have to at some point maintian/replace rollers which is as simple as can be.
