Was wanting to purchase a tandem enclosed trailer 16-20ft x 7-8'. Quite shocked with how expensive they are. Can purchase campers for a fraction of the price, which many are aluminum walled with way more amenities in the interior for a lot cheaper. Mark up must be huge.
Blows my mind that trailer with frame and some paneling is 15k-20k.

Yes our 20 foot V nose car hauler with raised roof was over 14 Grand. By the time you add windows and a rv door its over 15 Grand

Not cheap

Ya no chit


Just bought a 13 used 7 x 16 foot, 18 with v nose, it's a light one with wood walls inside ( nice cause u can add hooks a such) for 9 grand

I gave up looking as wanted a 20-24 foot, and could not find a used one, and new ones are crazy enough priced

Or it was a pos not worth chit and ready to fall apart

My brother just got his ten days ago, ordered it in May. Steel, Pewter in colour, 6x12 V-nose, single axle, barn doors, two 15x30 RV windows, man and screen door, steel wheels, LED lights, seamless aluminum panels, wood panel interior...just over $7800. taxes in. When he priced out the aluminum trailer, sales guy wouldn't give him a price until it arrived...aluminum changed daily in price. Nuts!
