I took your advise Ron and went to advantage trailers.there prices are great and I really like the trailer.A friend of mine said they were built poorly and likely wouldnt last,he went with Cargo Wells.I dont know much about trailers and almost bought one and still might,I would just like to hear what you guys know about them and what you think?

I would do your research. Forrest river is a good product, I think its a personal thing. Like Ford, Chev or Dodge. I am very satisfied with my trailer. I looked at Wells Cargo and United, Feather lite. Mine is the hardwall unit with the 5200 lb axles x 2. Steel frame. Then I armorthaned it and had J&G urthanes spray foam underneath. Its heavy but I have a Diesel.. You get what you pay for. Go to Forrest river's website and look at the information. Check Wells Cargo. I stuck with steel as I have friends that have the aluminum one with smaller axles and it came apart, and another 2 friends with featherlites and they broke. You have to inspect a lot. I would of liked the doors to be aluminum though..

just pickup a united trailer that i had order special from mornville ufa. i found that they all had + and - . stay away from royal as their walls are glued on.
contential was good coachworks carries them i believe, wholesale and coachworks are owned by the same dude. also think that wells cargo are great but you pay a lot for the sticker might as well be green like the inside armor thane idea had it in an older trailer stands up really well. did alot of researech on trailers for work took the email your own specs to everyone approach and see what you get back.

Continental Cargo

I purchased a 26ft Continental Cargo made by Forest River in 2002. Aluminum frame with a fiberglass sidewalls. Love the trailer until this past year. After a minor jackknife turn in Climina parking lot the trailer frame snapped just behind the hitch ( where all the structural members come together ) This left the trailer on the parking lot and the coupler still attached to the truck with the safty chains. This could have been a disaster if this happen while on the highway. Nothing hurt except my pride. This past summer I noticed all the tires where wearing unevenly. I took it into McCoy Bros. to get it checked out. They had to replace both axles. (there is no adjustment in the factor axles). I thought the aluminum frame was the way to go but now I am not sure, you don't have to paint but you should have the frame checked each season. A friend of mine bought a Mirage trailer. It has some unique features but time will tell if its any better.

Thanks for all the reply's,some very good information there.I still have a bit of checking around but I will give advantage a plug for there price.(7499.00) for a two place that is not a hardwall.I might just try buying one in the states and pay the duty and taxes and see if I can save some money.They sure are a lot cheaper south of the border!
