I just picked up this trailer, it is extremely well built and is all aluminim right down to the wheels, It has a v nose and tows real nice. I hate rust, sooner or later metal trailers rust. Great people to deal with.

X10. Accept no substitutes. I have a 8x24 in the driveway as I type thats 11 years old. Treat it right it will treat you better.

If I ever start sleeping in the trailer more than a couple times a year it will be one of these...

I got one of these. Paid $2350.00 for it. (It was $2500 but they had used it a time or two to haul a dirt bike, so they knocked a little off. First trip out got rear ended at the first gas stop.
Collected $9??.??. Damage didn't hurt functionality and was hardly noticeable so I pocketed the money. Next trip out got hail damage. Insurance company said it was a total loss. Paid me about $2300.00. Gave them back $1200.00 of that, kept the trailer and pocketed the rest. So now I have collected $950 or so plus $1100 and basically have a free trailer. Usually my luck goes the other way, this time, I made out like a bandit. (have used the trailer a lot more for other things than for hauling the bike.)

If I'm just interested in an enclosed trailer to fit my Road King what do you guys think of this one? Seems the price is right. I probably wouldn't use it more than a couple of times a year. I would be pulling it behind a Jeep Liberty.

Thanks, these are all good sujestions, to narrow it down, I will need it for two bikes, (mine plus wifes furure bike 
) I'm torn between the single axle vrs the dual axle. Weight is something I need to consider because it will be pulled behind my 5ver, as well as length. It probably will have to be a single axle, which means it will have to be a quality axle with quality tires. I'm all for a used unit if I can find a deal.
mike5511, thats a good luck story, I'll make sure to fill up at the same gas station, maybe I'll be as lucky.

Torsion axles have a much smoother ride.

I'm checking out one of these today http://www.legendmfginc.com/thunder-...luminum-v-nose
The 5x8 at the bottom of the page. Basic aluminum 5x8 v nose.
I'll get the ramp door and torsion suspension upgrades.

Looks a lot like the one I have. Mine has the "E Track" in the nose. You can buy it at Tractor Supply and install it yourself though. The price is right also.
