TILT style Trailer or RAMP Drive on Drive Off?

Barry Barton · Nov 12, 2018

I've had both plus a enclosed the enclosed is the best always a clean sled but hard to get into tight areas, but I like my tilt tritan trailer we just put a short piece of track on the back and wow what a difference . You don't need to pull out frozen ramps when u unload or loading plus u still have to climb onto the deck to tie it down and put on covers.

Once you get used to a tilt deck there’s nothing better in a two place trailer. If you hit it just right (sometimes two at a time) it tilts down nice and slow on its own. And same goes for tilting up. Easy easy.

I’ve never been any good at synchronized loading...lol. I’m usually the one that’s out of rhythm or tune! Lol. Drive on / off, whether it’s a deck or enclosed or open deck works for this guy. Props to the people that can master the tilt decks!

That’s usually a good team, I’d bet on that! Cool that you and him got a thing going on, keep that rock’in as often as you can, maybe you two can lend me some lessons if we ever run into each other. Shiny side up guys, have a great winter!!

He’s 66 and I’m 35. After 30 years of riding together we are pretty much on the same page. Lol.

Used to do tilting all time but have become spoiled by an enclosed. Clean and usually warm.

I love my 5 place.... but when it is just me and the wife or a buddy the 2 place open is nice. I am not afraid to drag the monster around, but sometimes it feels pretty good to snake into the liquor store/grocery store parking lot without concern. The deck was the ultimate for that as well but just a royal pain to cover and tie down.

Duel tilt norbert is the best open trailer by far.

toyman2k · Nov 21, 2018

Those Norberts look freakin sweet!! down to 2 trailers both Karavan demos. 1st is a tilt style Galv. bottom and alum. top 12ft Karavan Raptor which is a 2k trailer I can buy for 1200. or a Karavan Galv 10ft drive on drive off for 1050.
The deal is the Tilt seeing I could sell it later on for what I will pay for it.
