    Yeah she wasn't cheap final bill is $70,203.80. But we'll worth it to me. Should be pulling this trailer for the next 2 decades. And it has a 5 year warranty on air lines and electrical. lifetime warranty on the beams. All aluminum too. Gonna put her on the scales at the yard and see the weight difference vs the 48' western curtain I have.I'm hoping she weights the same or a little less.

    I'm going to wager that you're a bit heavier, in my experience Western is a really light trailer.
    Just curious, did you trade your old one in?
    That looks like Grants Pass in the background.
