Sorry if I offended you. I was just doing exactly what forums are designed to do.. state my cause and opinion. That being said, It was more than just 1 person we talked to about the Voltage. Trying hard to not throw them under the bus as I realize there are problems with all the different manufacturers and models out there. Just when WE weighed out the pros vs cons of the feedback we received it was and is in OUR best interest to avoid that brand.
Best wishes..
Best wishes..

We are in NC as well. I'd say 75% of the usage will come from racing. I have drooled over the Jayco Seneca HD on a Freightliner Chasis but can't stomach the price tags on them. I have looked at a few racing trailers but the ones I have found on other websites that are tailored to racing people aren't outfitted to our needs and seem to be tailored to car racing.
We have a friend that I feel completely sorry for that has a Cyclone so I totally agree on "nuff said" :)
The reason we are cutting Voltage off the list is again.. another person track side talk filled us in on the problems they have had with their Voltage so we just decided that we should probably look at the the two I mentioned as we can't find anyone that owns one (again at the track) that has had issues.
Trying to get out of the crazy hotel bills we are paying because we could darn near paid for a nice hauler by now!!

We race quads in NC and SC. So we're in a similar situation as what you're getting into.
For starters, our Cyclone and dealing with Heartland has been a nightmare. Enough said about that.
I love the Raptor Velocity and the XLRs. Great choices but I think leaving out the Voltages is a possible mistake. I like them. Infernos are great and I believe they still come with a 2 year warranty. That's a rarity.
Now the BIG question. Will you be using this for almost entirely racing at the tracks? If so, I'd go a different route. Look into the Work & Play toy haulers or a dedicated race trailer. Their garages are usually much bigger and they seem to be built tougher for that type of camping.
But they aren't nearly as "nice" inside as the typical brands you've already mentioned. If you plan to use it a lot on just regular camping trips, you'll probably want to stay with the Raptors, etc..
Best of luck.:)
So, ONE person said they had problems with Voltage? You will find that with ANY trailer. Many of us have Voltage, and very little trouble.
You can find someone with bad things to say about ANYTHING! I am not saying they are the cats meow, but they are no worse than others you listed. I have seen others post about all the problems they are having with EACH of the others you listed.
