Realitycheck, I've seen you Summer S ucks trailer before! True words there!
SOrt of agree with both RC and Kayteg, and you guys agree too, to a point, a trailer is a trailer. Only thing to go wrong is lights, bearings brakes and tires.
There are "some" trailers with a bad rap though for structural issues. Mirage for example.
If you look at a trailer, and the welds look good and the floor doesn't bounce between stringers, it should be solid.

A $3k trailer is just that...it will pull and keep stuff covered, but I wouldn't be putting a bunch of heavy point load items in there.
Shows lack of reality here.
All trailers will have the same axles, who are manufactured in only couple locations in US. All of them will have the same door latches, hinges, vents and door locks.
All trailers will have strong frame as steel is cheap and no manufacturer will take chances with structural undersized.
What cheaper trailer will have are thinner outside sheeting, less inside ties and probably some poorly torqued screws.
I drove my 5000 lb convertible inside $3000 trailer just fine. Enough said.
My impression is that trailers are build by the same labor TC are.
Whatever farm-boy is available in the area - he's got the job.
KT, you're just an irritant at times. No doubt I have a complete lack of reality...never done a **** thing and know nothing about anything. I just pale in your spotlight of wisdom. Seriously, why does anyone even offer any thoughts about anything since you have every subject under the sun covered.
