Just wondering how those Trails West RPM GN's are holding up. They've been around for a bit now. Ive always been apprehensive of a steel trailer due to rust and what not.

I was in Cooke City last weekend and saw a Logan Horsepower GN ZBROZ edition... damn that thing is NICE!!! They also have trailers on their website with living quarters. Very cool idea. Anybody on here own a Logan?

Is that Logan alluminum?

That's why I stayed away from the RPM, major rust issues.

Allan Dale had some nice alluminum goosenecks.

The Logan has a steel frame. Basically the same idea as the Trails West, only nicer IMO.

Thanks, I'll check out Allan Dale.

There are a _lot_ of reports online about Trails West trailers falling apart or rusting apart, or furnaces not working. Personally I would not buy one, because I believe that Logans are a much better trailer. As you said, they are beautiful trailers.

Check the trailer forums at snowest.com , there are a bunch of threads on the Logans.

Salesman I talked to at AD seemed to think mission is the only quality trailer, rest are inferior. Went elsewhere and bought

2015 20ft. The key is undercoating em and washing the salt of after every trip.


Even then some brands will still eat through the alum skin in under 2 yrs. poor workmanship if you ask me
I lay on mat and wash underneath with hot soapy water after bc trip. Still will but all alum should be much better
