Does anyone have experience with new Mirage enclosed trailers? I’m looking at a 2020 3 place. It has the vinyl floor but not many more options.

i have a xtreme snow before someone in valemount decided they needed it more than i did.
it was a great trailer, towed well the flooring held up very well to the carbides. i added a pile of stuff to the trailer and it turned out great,
after insurance i bought a new redline all aluminum from FOT in calgary. i like it too for the no rusting, the flooring isnt quite as tough so i added super glides.
what are you looking to use the trailer for or do to it? heat, benches, cabinets, driers?

I had a work bench and got a smoking deal on a scratch and dent 8’ cabinet from a decked out mirage trailer.
look at mirage website and can see their boot and glove drier, it’s a slick system but you can build 1 for $30
go on eBay and pick up a new forced air furnace $4-500. 34k unit is lots almost over kill but drys sleds and gear fast,
run 2 heating ducts to the back and down low, 1 up front pointing down and the 4th for boot glove drier, I wish I had pics of the trailer I like my new one but my old one was set up perfect. If you want cheep fold down benches, buy fold down tire racks for your garage, they go on sale for $50

Since it is not got a furnace and you want to heat it pull the interior wood paneling off and insulate it with good closed cell styrofoam then have the exterior floor spray foamed it will make a big difference if you decide to heat it

14K out the door

I was thinking the same route for insulating. Maybe the tin-foil bubble wrap stuff?

Looks good!!

Couple questions.. 1) Looks really tall? Did you need that for something other than sleds? SxS..? 2) is it all steel construction? Can a guy buy trailers with a mix (steel frame rails with the rest made of aluminum?

It’s nice to have the front door. Couldn’t see that adding much weight. Never know down the road as hobbies /plans change

It’s tall for future SXS and general head room, Nothing worse than hitting your head on the heater/cabinets. I thought about the front door but Ive been on many trips that it never gets opened. It’s all steel, 16” centres on the roof, might be 18” underneath. Im not sure on the aluminum/steel mix but I’m sure they’re out there, you’ll go cross eyed looking at trailers... I found nothing is apples to apples... find a deal and pull the trigger. It’s not a 40k Burandt, but I won’t be afraid to use the thing either.

What are the door height and interior height measurements?
