    Thanks. I read that thread a couple days ago and I wanted to buy that trailer when it was in the MC For Sale section here but someone got to it before I did.

    Be sure to check the frame rails for cracks especially near the axle hangers. Does that thing still have an arch? May want to check with some trailer shops and see if a reitnouer can be strapped and arched. You don't want to go down the road with a saggin wagon.

    Thanks. Frame cracks are certainly on the inspection list. I definitely don't want a sagging wagon. In regards to the arch, I was under the impression that it's mostly for show and it doesn't add any strength to the beams or trailer itself. I haven't researched it enough to form a solid opinion on it but I did recently read that somewhere.

    Huh, never heard that. I personally don't like big arches because it's a pain if you haul bars, pipe, etc.
    I personally would be leary of any aluminum trailer that doesn't have an arch if you are going to haul coils but that can be deceiving too.
    If you are looking to buy an older aluminum trailer and will be mostly hauling coils, you will want to find a reputable shop that can strap and arch it.

    I had to Google that. No, it's a nickname from high school.
