    With FET? If so that is a mega deal! Rentinour has a cheaper trailer for the low 30's for that, but a Big Bubba for that price new w/FET is a deal.

    That Big Bubba is a deal, plus you can "re-arch" them. Never had a Chaparell hear good things, Ravens is a trailer I'd take a hard look at as well if I were to buy new.

    One thing I have noticed about the new Fontaines....pretty trailers but rub rail repair doesn't look like an easy process! I believe TMC is finding that to be a bit of a problem.
    I have been impressed with the durability of Reitnouer's.

    I think if you damaged the rubrail on a Rev, you probably have bigger problems! Lol
    That was one of the main reasons I bought one.
    Even with double spools a regular aluminum rail would look like a pretzel after a couple of months loading in some of the places we load in.
    Prior to buying the Revolution, I would only dare load a steel trailer at these locations, but I paid for it in heavy tare weight.

    One of my problems with the Revolution, I would not want to be a hostage to the dealer, to buy something as simple as a taillight.
