    Picked this one up with a package deal with 2 other trailers. Have $10k in it. It’s a old QuickDraw but works well. Driver likes it and thinking of putting one on some more trailers. Heard aero was the best but don’t know much about them at all.

    I have a Quick Draw. Had it installed with air release front. Had it since fall 2017 with minimal issues

    Not sure who has the best but there are several QD locations so if you need a new panel or roller’s replaced it’s usually pretty easy to find a place and get it fixed pretty fast

    If you’re looking for another trailer I do have a 2006 Benson all aluminum with all the gear for sale
    48’ with a rolltite kit

    Like the access hatch on the front .
    That’s gotta be handy sometimes

    Handy almost all the time
    The one pictured is the 48 I have for sale
    It’s a little heavier and has brackets on the door for the 4x4 coil dunnage

    My 53’ wouldn’t support that weight so I put it on the side but having a door let’s you grab gear pretty easily especially once the trailer starts to get loaded

    @GYPSY65

    Ok...just for gits and shiggles, how much does the trailer weigh, how much are you asking for it?
     
    CAXPT and Big Road Skateboard Thank this.

    I haven’t scaled the trailer. It came with the truck I recently purchased but my 53’ has a taller kit 104” and lift axle
    I think with all the gear it is maybe 14k but can double check that in a little while

    Trailer with gear $20,000

    Quickdraw hands down. New ones coming in are Quickdraw. Have some aero industry ones and pain in the butt compared to Quickdraw and areo can't keep the tarp tight like a Quickdraw. Quickdraw looks like your pulling a dryvan going down the road. The aeros visibility sucks because all the flapping.
