Welcome Paul,

This is a great place to learn about what is available. Just one bit of advice, when you decide what you are looking for, you need to be diligent and be ready to act as soon as you find it. Be ready to travel to check out anything you are interested in, and be ready to close the deal quickly - have money in hand and ready. These trailers sell quite quickly, especially as we get closer to spring.

Good luck, and make sure to ask any questions. Some folks will point you to do a search if it is a common question, and that is a good idea, but don't be afraid to ask - some of us don't mind discussing the same topics repeatedly.

When doing a search, click on the "Search" option at the top of the page, then enter your search terms in the "Google Custom Search" box at the bottom of the drop down. This will give you the best results.

Good luck with your shopping.

Paul, check the documents section. There are a number of documents on what to look out for when looking at a trailer. Most of the things to look for apply to any brand even if the checklist is for a specific brand. When you do go, bring something you can lie on to go underneath the trailer. I also recommend that you bring at a minimum a long straight edge, a square, a light hammer, an awl or screwdriver, a flashlight, a tape measure and a list of things to look out for.

Good luck with your search!
