I had work done at Kustom Trailors in Rancho Cucamanga. They quoted me a good replacement cost for my trailor. I'd start there & the head guy could point you the right direction if you didn't like his price.

Xtreme says 8500 & Kustom Trailor said about 6000. Just an example.

Just got quoted $3600.00 from Metalcraft in SLC, UT on a 26' with ALL the goodies (swing away hitch, brakes on both axles , LED lights, spare, alloy wheels, powdercoat any color, boxed steel frame (they sell a cheaper channel version), new style bearing buddies, etc). Only double axle though. I've owned one before and they are VERY good trailers...

I need to call him myself since he hasnt responded to an e-mail. Trying to get an idea what he would charge to refurbish my trailer although really considering taking mine to Bear Trailersport in Chatsworth since is closer.

600 bucks for powder coat.
150 hitch
100 steel fenders
350 each axle with brakes =700
80 bucks per tire X5 =400
80 bucks per wheel x5 = 400
150 bucks electrical
bunks/carpet/rollers 300
steel 600
3400 for materials, and nothing's been welded, ground, fixtured, or had any
errands ran to gather all that shit..........
--3600 is cheap.... maybe they pay their labor with banana's..
