Anyone have a contact with a manufacturer? Looking to have a red one made, how long do they usually take to have built......4 to 6 weeks?

New Trend Custom Trailers in Fontana is always posting some really nice trailers on InstaGram. Dont know anybody that owns/bought one, but they'd be the first place Id go after seeing some of the trailers they have posted.

I purchased a new 24' trailer from these guys about 2 years ago. They were good to deal with and had my trailer built within a week. Trailer is nothing fancy and the factory is nothing special either but I had good luck and couldnt beat the price. I purchased new for what many used trailers were selling for. I think a few others on here have used them also with no issues.

I also really like New Trend Trailers- might be worth checking out. Nice trailers but probably going to spend more too.

I have been looking for one as well and its looking like I'm going to have one made back east and shipped out here. The pricing of trailers in Ca is double what you can get one made to your specs for back east and youre still money ahead with having it shipped here.

Thank you for the information. I agree back east they are alot cheaper. We have had a couple refrigerated trailers made and they where $15k cheaper delivered.

If I could get one made in a couple weeks that would be great.

I purchased a 24 form Sky trailers 6 months ago. They built it in a week. They build a ton of trailers. Like balls deep said not the fanciest but clean and smooth sides.

Looking for a trailer to transport water watercarts for events, they are 7.5ft long and 8ft tall so I need 8.5' hieght. I just want E tracks,the rear ramp extended and thinking about a door on each side. Not sure if it's worth insulating but for sure want some type of venting.
Did they work with you on prices for options?

They will build you whatever you want. They have every option you can think of. I just got the standard 24 foot ling trailer but he did through in the wider rear door and spare tire. I paid $6900 out the door. Two year warranty on trailer and 6 year on axles.

I also bought a 24’ x 8’ Sky trailer. They did a few custom things for me and overall I was very happy and the price was good. Only issue I had was the timeline. They are so busy it made RD’s 2 weeks sound believable. Good thing I was not in a rush.
DaBank shot me a call about some things I had him do if you like. Too much to type on my phone.

I did email them and ask what a 24ft trailer with standard equipment 8.5 wide and 8.5 tall and the color in red would cost, $9k. Not sure what the extra cost for red and the extra height breaks down to?

I was hoping to be in one for $10k otd with a winch,red,8.5 tall,ramp extension,vents. But at $9k dont look like that is going to happen.

When I was looking for a snowmobile trailer a few years back I found several companies in Utah and Idaho that build some really nice stuff at a fairly decent price.

How much delivered?
he lived in Texas at the time and drove there to pick it up. If I remember it was a little more the the sales tax he had to pay to pick it up, but it was only going to Texas.

I just sold my pace American all aluminum including the frame to a close friend. What brings the higher prices would be a seamless aluminum exterior as opposed to rivets, a coin rubber floor on the inside with tiedowns, aluminum cabinetry, and inside lined with aluminum as opposed to Plywood.

Most of them have torsion axels just look at the GVW are most of them will hold 6000 pounds of a car now a days and they're better ones have an internal Beavertail.

FYI- from what I remember Sky and Sports Trailers are within a few blocks of each other. Might want to check google maps.

Also another MFG to look into is Universal trailers- they make some nice stuff as well a bit more pricey but they make some nice stuff.

They do make nice stuff but much higher than all others.

I had them make a trailer for me before. I forgot all about them.
