Conestoga question

Paging @OLDSKOOLERnWV

Believe he runs an Aero XP. But wouldn’t be like him to not shop around before purchasing so he might be able to sway you in the right direction

 

Evening Sir!

Yes I have the Aero XP. As far as structural design, and ease of operation I say it ranks near the top, if not at the top. I looked at other Conestogas at MATS last week, still prefer the Aero. From the front I can have it unhooked, and slid open in less than 45 seconds. But when I fasten it back up I like to unlatch the back first, takes the strain off the front latches. After loading I can button it up pretty quick.
Rollers are guaranteed for life as long as you own it.

 

Freind got his installed last year. He worked it out so he took his trailer straight to Indianapolis at the main plant. Think he said 1 1/2 days and he rolling back home with it. Also a Aero XP.

 

The company I work for has aero as well. I really like them. They open really fast from front or back. I have however talked to a driver that was in love with his quick draw setup, he had regular flat that day so I've never seen one tho. Hope that helps.

 

I've owned both Quickdraw and Fastrak. They are about the same quality. Something else to consider is shop locations and hours. What options were included in that 15k quote?

 

Is eagle the tarp system with the j hooks that will fit on the track?

 

Yah, besides everyone already knows I'm a deuce.... and often times a douche

 

Those Aeros do look nice and quick. Never dragged one myself. Only the Fasttrack.

 

To be honest, now I'm speaking from what I see personally.... the framework looks stronger to me for one thing, and the locking system on the back is something I like too. I looked at a unit on YouTube that one company demonstrated, guy used a quarter .25 to chock the rollers on the back at one point.... keep in mind this was a sales demo! . Think it was the same one that used a strap and winch on the sides to hold the back.

I have to load later this evening for Elkhart, IN , if I don't forget I will take a few pics and share here, just to give others a idea what it looks like on the latches. We all have different taste.

 

Where at in Elkhart? Bull Moose?
