    Peters & Keatts dropped Aspen and has Brandt now. I haven't been to Lewiston to stop and take a look. Former salesman there (Western States Cat now) there says they're nice.

    Yeah, a Peters & Keatts ad popped up and that's where I saw one. Brandt trailers look to have similarities with Aspen. I wonder if some of Aspen's folks are now with Brandt?

    Anyway, they look decent but I have no idea how they compare on price.

    I've had a Brandt M400 for a couple years now.

    Overall it seems like a fine trailer. Only issue I've consistently run into is the Leveling valve arm likes to flip if I over extend the bags. More of a problem for the local guy who has a low fifth wheel and has to run the trailer in its highest settings to avoid dragging.

    Brandt bought out Camex a few years ago and took over their operations. They're using the Camex shop and property.

    I think Aspen's shop is just one or two streets over from them too.

    Dang, trying to remember the name now but there was another brand that looked similar to Aspen that I found a number of years ago. Kelly, or Gerry, or something like that.

    Gerry's is probably the one you're thinking of.

    Peerless is another relatively popular brand out west.
     
    Feedman, cke and Oxbow Thank this.

    I am familiar with Peerless, at least for log trailers etc. They are a BC company aren't they?
     
    Feedman and cke Thank this.

    We had a new trailer sales lot open awhile back and I stopped in to talk to him. While asking about different end dumps, he would say, yeah those guys worked for XYZ and started ABC, and this was on a couple different brands. The way he talked it's not uncommon in the trailer world.
