Sorry, I forgot, but finally looked up the weight of this trailer on the title. I think my guess of 9-10,000 lbs. load capacity is closer to the truth than the 11,070 lbs. that the listed weight would allow. There's no way this trailer weighs only 2,930 lbs. Yes, aluminum is light, but not that...

Too late. I'm curious now, so I'll try to remember looking it up tomorrow. Too many load "a lot" on their trailers without giving any thought to GVWR or tongue weight. Yes, when/if I put a SEE on the 30-footer I'll be over both on the trailer and max tow capacity of the 1-ton (it has 3.73 gears...

Oh, you had to ask, didn't you, Ahab? I don't remember how much it weighs (but I do know where the title is, so I can look it up). Anyway, it sits on 7,000-lb. axles so probably good for about 9-10,000 lbs. The trailer itself is plenty stout, but it is axle/spring/tire limited at this point. I...

Bring your wallet and come get it. One thing that really impressed me with this one is that there's no weld at the kink on the gooseneck. It's built the right way, not the easy way.

Exactly! That's how I ended up with 16 trailers, and would still like to have a few more. Then again, I really should sell the 25-foot aluminum gooseneck, the home built light tandem axle made especially for my flatfender Jeep, and maybe even the extra low overall height enclosed V-nose...well...

Here's where we get back to the regularly scheduled trailer programming, Ahab. I know what you're saying about loading and unloading a non-deckover, Dan. This morning I ordered 84-inch fork extensions because of one. In theory that should allow loading a cabover camper onto an 18' gooseneck...

Hmm, things must've changed in the last couple of years. I had to have an MRI, couldn't really take the 1,000-mile trip to CA (where I was insured at the time) and went to a local outfit. They said "If you're paying cash, you get a rebate." I asked them if a credit card counted as cash, they...

Dan, thinking about this last night a few thoughts surfaced. I couldn't help but compare my most recent trailer purchase with the $4,000 you mentioned for a new trailer. I ordered a '17 PJ 30-foot gooseneck, with tandem duals, disc brakes, air suspension, "black wood" decking, custom color, and...

Good point, Ahab. I better do it while the ACA is still in effect, huh? More importantly, Dan, please make sure that your tetanus shot is current.

Alright, didn't realize that they were so pricey in your neck of the woods, Dan. I most definitely can relate to the having built-it-myself feeling, which is worth a lot in itself. But when you're only reusing the springs (if I understand things correctly), I thought you'd be time and money...

Alright, I'm amazed. You could say that I have a trailer fetish, having lots of them and like building, modifying, and towing them. But what I don't understand here is why you're spending so much time on something that apparently requires more money just in material, axles, springs, etc. than...
