    Going to tag on here, looking at a end dump, round and frameless. See if I can get some input also.
    In my search it appears round bottom would unload easier and washout better.
    Remember back in the 80's my family had ridge lane, a ####### to clean out with mud and ####.
    But what did I know back then, and it was the other side of family; I just did weekend work and summers.

    Pretty vague on what you are going to do with it but I'll give it a shot.
    Dump Trailer hauling dirt or demo i would go with a Steel quarter frame, high lift gate, round body, East makes one.
    Dump Truck hauling anything i would go with a Ox body, Round Steel, with high lift gate.
    Any of the above hauling sticky material go with a vibrator.

    It really depends on what you plan on doing with it. I'd get he trailer that has the most versatility. Example my Vantage trailer has a light or empty weight of 11,500, about 45 bushels depends on the product. 60 inch sides has double floors, double walled. Cross members at 12 inches, 3 way gate, water tight seal electric roll over tarp. My next trailer will be a Wink trailer just to get the light weight down a ton.
