Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions we get from our customers, both before and after they get a trailer from us. Check these out: if you've got a question which you don't see here, call or email us and get your answers.

1. What are the advantages of an aluminum trailer versus a steel trailer?
An aluminum trailer will not rust and will weigh less than a steel trailer. Aluminum trailers hold their value longer and have a higher resale value than steel trailers. A steel trailer is fine if you are just starting out or are not sure if you will keep the trailer for several years. An aluminum trailer is a better investment if you plan on keeping the trailer more long-term.

2. What benefits does a gooseneck trailer provide over a bumper pull trailer?
A gooseneck trailer's load is more evenly distributed over your vehicle, causing less wear and tear on your vehicle and a smoother ride. It can also offer a smaller turning radius. A bumper pull trailer places the load on the back of your vehicle.

3. What is the difference between rubber torsion and spring axles?
Rubber torsion axles require little to no maintenance and provide a smoother ride than spring axles. Spring axles will require maintenance and replacement of parts. Most larger trailers come only with rubber torsion axles; however, some smaller trailers give you the option of either rubber torsion or spring axles.

4. How often should I bring my trailer in for maintenance?
Axle manufacturers recommend once a year or every 10,000 miles.
