    I was looking into the Great Danes through LCAPP. $1400 down and the 7% pay increase covers the trailer payment.

    I like the older 653XXX trailers. Always seem to have better luck with them and all the bugs are worked out. Picked up a new 694XXX trailer tbe other day and it was dog tracking about two feet to the passenger side. Prior to that had another new one that had a nasty air leak in the front axle.

    kinda silly ..... I don't think LS is selling any and a new one would have taken me a while too.
    I got it from TEC equipment in Portland they bought a bunch of Wabash places on the west coast. Clint is a nice salesman there. They have about 5 more old LS trailers.

    It isn't a perfect trailer. I usually like the new ones better.
    But it drives straight. We put on side skirts and we can keep it up. :)
