Currently looking for an aluminum enclosed trailer. I *think* I have it narrowed down to two manufacturers. NEO and LEGEND trailers. Anyone here have thoughts and/or opinions on either brand? Seems the NEO can be had slightly cheaper, but I've never heard of them. (which means diddly) lol Thanks in advance. Scott
Trailers are usually a locally built product. I assume they all more or less source the same parts from elsewhere, but the assembly and specs do vary considerably. It looks like both of those are made up in Michigan, so unless someone from that area has used them in the past it might be hard to help. I know where I'm at, there are several manufacturers for very similar trailers with drastically varying prices and construction quality. If you are able to look at them both on a lot, really look at the frame rails, welds, and general construction. Usually the frame is the biggest indicator of a quality build.
I have an enclosed 6 x 12 Haulmark trailer that I have had since 2008 that has been up and down the western states in to Neveda and Arizona and to Glamis and Ocotillo Wells so many times I can't count. This trailer is solid and really you don't even know it is behind you when you are pulling. These come with a lot of features but you can modify any way you like. Hands down the best trailer on the market for the price. I paid about $1700.00 Before I later added a Cabinet on the left and in front as well as a spare tire on the left side mounted. This setup was when I was racing motocross with Over The Hill Gang, You can also fit two quads and a lot of gear, generator. If you have any questions let me know.
My two cents is to go v nose especially in winds. Also, I got a deal on a trailer because the front diamond plate had dent in it. I did not care, figured I would probably dent it as well some day. They knocked about a grand off since it was dented. So look around and there are some deals.
Yeah definitely go v-nose....There is a huge difference when pulling vs. a flat front. If you buy used take the cap off the tires and grease the axels....From the factory some times they forget. And definitely if the trailer is used.
Hauling on a budget...picked up this overengineered trailer locally for just over 400 bucks....NOW, I can participate in some events this year
Ordered a 7X14 NEO this morning from Johns trailers in Toledo. Should be delivered in a month or so, so I will give a detailed report then.
If you can afford it and store it then go for an enclosed trailer. Push comes to shove you can sleep in them when on tour
