This is about two hours from me, and I'm thinking pretty seriously about getting it. Anybody know about what new brakes will cost on a triple axle trailer?

Uh-oh - mobile home axles and tires. I'd stay away from it... .

It would be ok for something you can use locally but I wouldn't venture on a long road trip with it. The axles well hold up if you keep them greased up. The tires are the real pain tho, carry atleast 2 spares but probably 3 or 4 would be better. I wouldn't go much more than $2000-$2500 myself.

Remember, those axles are designed for one trip. I would stay far away from an abortion like that thing.



IMO, it was to high at $1000.

Ditto that, for the money and time it would take to get that thing roadworthy, you could buy that new PJ trailer thats advertised on that page!! I'll be hopefully picking up my new 35'+5" PJ later this week in Oklahoma!!

Ouch! I think $1,000 is too high. $500 maybe. Looks like it didn't sell anyway.



That thing looks like a nightmare and you wouldn't even have to be asleep to have it.

Thanks for the replies. Got similar comments on another site, so I didn't bid. Thanks!
