Car trailer
 

I'm looking to buy one. Anyone know where there is a trailer dealer or is there anyone selling one?

There's a guy on Cross County Road that is suppose to have good prices. I haven't checked them out to be sure though. Just going by what I've been told

Bubbas on 17-A? Do they sell car trailers?

There are a few places around my area but that may be far for you to drive.

Do you know the name of the place?

I called them and they don't have any available. They said they are trying to sell what's on the lot before they order any more. Just to ship one it would be an additional $300. It doesn't sound like they are doing too good.

the place on cross county is fields ornamental and iron. they do sell them but i dont know about prices. You can talk to Dickie if he is there he runs the place

There is also a place on the right hand side of Cross County heading towards Dorchester Rd. that sells trailers I believe.

Craiglist.com

Goff trailers on 78 in summerville 873-3200 has a wood deck 18ft (16' with 2' dove) for 1900 dual axle with electric brake. he is a pretty good guy too

Ebay.com

What price range are you looking to spend?

I was hoping to spend less than $1500 on one. I'm definitely not against used.

Bubba's on 17A is way over priced

wood deck or metal?

i'm with Bob.

i would go see John Goff, and tell him you want to spend $1500, and he will have one built to your specs and shipped here for free.

takes a week or two, IIRC

he's good people.

Fields welding ask for Dicky

Whichever is in the price range.

Thanks for the suggestions BTW. I'll be calling around tomorrow

Metal is stronger but man that stuff gets slick as owl shit if it gets any moister on it.

i had a metal trailer built for what i wanted. i ended up paying 2500 but it was well worth it for a heavy duty 20 foot all steel car trailer with a place on the front so i could hook my ramps to load my four wheeler when going to the track. Bubbas is high. they wanted that for a 15 foot trailer with runners.

Not if its rusty!!!!:mrgreen:

My trailer is an 18' Down To Earth Trailer. 16' w 2' dove tail. It has 4" drop axles to load a car that is low. It also has a removeable driver side fender so you can open the doors to get in and out. They used to be $2500 back when I was looking for mine. I just happened to find 1 that was less than a year old for $2000. Mine came from a place across the SC line in GA. I like mine a lot, it does bottom out a good bit but if you ever have to push a car on it, it is the bomb. Just trying to help.

Bubba's is too high & also not a very good quality trailer. We have two of them @ work and they have not held up too well. Warpage and frame stress. Whoever buils them for Bubba's, is building an economy trailer. Just look at where the U-channel stops from the tounge assy. High quality builders take the channel all the way to just in front of the axles. This makes a big difference in the durability and driveability in the trailer. I have been around car trailers, utility trailers, and boat trailers all my life. Look for the high quality stuff period. You might pay for it, but it's worth it in the long run.

exaclty, esp if you are gonna pull it with a 1500/half ton truck

a cheap trailer makes "the tail wag the dog" and is fatiguing to drive.


i put radial trailer tires on my trailer, and it is awesome, about $25 each more than cheap bias ply tires, but it's nice not to have to fight it.

Ill sell ya this one... :)
