Aluminum trailer

#1 Post by Mrtoler » Tue Aug 06, 2013 6:56 pm

Does anybody have an aluminum trailer? I'm going to get one soon for my new build, I've been looking at McClain and for a 26' with brakes I got quoted $4,100 I know that's high but for a aluminum trailer it seemed about right. Anybody have any pics of theirs?

I have a McClain on my South Bay and I highly recommend it! They are well built and the advantages of aluminum over steel are countless. Weight, rust, longevity etc. If you have any specific questions let me know.

Please do, I'm just wanting to see the trailer in general. Maybe a few different angles. Does yours have brakes and if so are they disc?

No, but I want one,

Even priced it the parts to make one, about $1800. Plus whatever it costs to pay the place for the bends. It helps. That there are lot of al vendors round here, for manufacturers and stuff.

Thanks man, those are just what I was after! Looks like a well built trailer. Also that toon is beautiful and I bet it moves along nicely with the strakes and 150
