Looking for an car/equipment trailer

[CIverson]

I'm hoping someone here may be able to help me search for a suitable trailer, or know places I can contact.



I'm looking for a trailer to eventually tow an older 80's ram that will be on 38's, but need one now for hauling around 4 wheelers and various items, and I may be taking a trip to florida to trailer a car back around the first of the year.



I could simply get a smaller 16 foot w/ a 7000lb capacity locally, but figured if I'm gonna buy one I should buy one that will be able to handle possible future loads.



I was thinking about a 20 to 25 foot trailer with a capacity around 10000 lbs. and that won't break the bank.



I had thought about a gooseneck also, but the ones I have looked at have a much higher deck than the normal bumper pull trailers, and the car I will be be towing is a 96 ford taurus so I need something lower down.



If anyone has any suggestions or knows of any place near upper michigan/wisconsin I would appreciate it.

I bought a MacLander 20' 10k tag at the trailer place in Grayling. (I think it was ~$2300) It seems to be very well made and has a good paint job. The boards are still flat after 2 years outside. I like the stow-away ramps-- They slide under until needed.



I'm blanking on the name of the place, but they are on M-72 west of town. If you need more info, let me know.

That sounds Very close to what I'm looking for an not too bad on price either. Only thing is that grayling is quite a ways away and not on my way down to FL. I'm an hr. away from Wisconsin so I go down that way as it's shorter.

well if you don't need it until you are on your way to FL then you could check out http://www.kaufmantrailersinc.com

great trailers at great prices, and you pick it up right at the factory. I have a 16 ft auto hauler from them, I pulls really nice loaded or empty.

On your way down two places come to mind. Trailer world in Bowling green KY they make great trailers and Us cargo in Indiana. Go on the inter net and punch in there names it should come up. www.trailerworld.com www.uscargo.com/uscargo/

May want to check out Ebay. There are some trailer shops that build to order a trailer to your specs.



Found a few. http://search.ebaymotors.com/search...p=6000&wty=0&sp=0&BasicSearch=&category0=6000



1 is new 8'x20' bumper pull, and is currently a $2k. Looks like a nice one.
