Our one and only trip this year on our new sleds was to the U.P., on our way home I was looking in the rear view mirror all the way home in horror of the road grime/slop that was being kicked up all over our machine and at that point decided I was going to invest in an enclosed trailer.
So now I am calling “factory direct” places that eliminate the middle man to save me money, emailing places off Craigs list and stopping at the places I know of to see what they have. Here is what I have found, the factory direct places must be using a special aluminum in their builds ( possibly gold plated ) because they are not saving anyone money. The adds on Craigs list even though they have a picture/description of what you want they already sold it but they can order you one for a grand or more. When you stop to talk with the dealers they know exactly what you want, even though you tell them you are looking for a 7x18 with 6” added height they have a 8.5x24 car trailer that will suit my needs and if I ever want to get into some form of auto racing then I will have a car trailer also………….. Seriously, does anyone know of a reputable place that will listen to a persons needs and doesn’t want a years wages for what they offer??

I got mine from R&R Trailer and they had a guy deliver it for like $450.00 dollars to NY.
Got a 7.5' inline Powersports Deluxe. Has suited me well.

Most of them are built within a 30 mile radius of where I live in SW Mich. R & R is 10 miles away, Stealth is one mile away, Rance, Wells Cargo and more are only 20 miles away all along the Michigan/Indiana line. Lots of dealers, my neighbor is a dealer too.

R&R is a quality built trailer I used to sell them you can find a dealer and order thru them and get most of the travel done by the delivery to the dealer. I know american marine in shawano is a dealer but would be quite a drive from MN.

I wanted simple, light weight, and low wind drag even though I tow with a 1 ton diesel.
I used to sell trailers so there was no question I wanted a Floe. Yes the height is low, but boy does it pull nice.

Don't forget, one manufacturer may make different brands. Rance is owned by Forrest River, Inc. which in turned is owned by Berkshire Hathaway. They also make Cargo Mate, haulin, etc.
