We are possibly going to buy a quad and we're looking for a trailer for it. Any suggestions on where to find one?
Thanks, Mrs.HLB

I don't see the prices. Can you give me an idea of the cost?

I bought a 16' heavy duty with gate and electric brakes for $2200.
The one you need will be around $1,000 :wink:or less

You may want to also check out Big Tex Trailers. http://www.bigtextrailers.com/
Nothing against Carson, but I believe these are a little better and I've been satisfied w/ mine. I have the 10ft ATV trailer w/ rear ramp and it was $1,600 OTD.

I got this one in black. http://www.bigtextrailers.com/spec/35sa.html
I put my son's Raptor 50 at the front and turn it sideways and I put my Raptor 660 straight in touching the other quad. If I turned mine sideways, I could fit another full size quad in there. Hope that helps.

i would go with big tex. we own a carson and a big tex and the carson was a total piece of shit. our custom carson came with 5 shorts in the electrical and a pinched hydro. brake line. the paint was also scratched up pretty bad at delivery and it wasn't decent to begin with. when i asked them to touch it up(they had the stuff right there to do it with) i was told "it's just a trailer". didn't find out about the other fualts untill on the way home. big tex is a real company that actually takes pride in thier stuff. i'll sell yuh my carson for cheap though,lol. :cool:

That is the one I was looking at also. We will be getting one quad for now and maybe later I will get one. So I want to have enough room.
Is there a store we can go to? On the website it is asking for email info and all that. I just want to look at one.

I picked mine up in Ventura, CA, but if I remember correctly there's one in Anaheim too. When you contact them through the website, they just tell you were to go. It's not like they hassle you.

Somebody just had an 8X16 up here for sale. I think it was Dawn Patrol. Hit him up. I believe he wanted like $900. It looked pretty clean.

I have a PJ Trailer that is built in Texas. A friend of mine has a new Carson. we put then side by side and my PJ is much better built. His uses angle for the under side cross bracing, mine has 3" channel. His uses 4" for the tongue, mine has 5". There are more that I can't remeber at this time, and his the cross braces have had to fixed, the first time was when he loaded it for the very first time (they keep falling out, Bad welds). Big Tex Is a well built trailer!!
