New trailer will run you any where from 3 to 5 grand, might want to look into how much to refirbish the one you have and weigh the options. :wink:
Hello all. First post here on the Forums. Need some trailer help. I have an older Vanson Trailer thats in need of some serious help. Is it best to try and repair, paint, weld, etc. what I have or start calling around for a new trailer?
Any advice would be appreciated.

You're absoultely right. I called Shadow Trailers and they want $4,995.00. I about fell my chair. Still waiting for a call from Extreme. But my guess is they probably want twice that. I'll have to get some qoutes to refurb.
Look for used. I bought one for about $300 from someone on here. Duel axel. It was even yellow! All I did is put new bunks on it.
Thanks for the insight

Don't know if you're interested or not, but my neighbor has an extreme trailer for sale. It needs a redo as the paint is rusted (salt water does that). It was for a v-drive Malibu ski boat. You could make some minor modifications and get rid of the v-drive stuff. I believe it's a 94 or 95. It also has the swinging tounge. I think he'd be happy with a few hundred bucks or so. Let me know if you're interested and I can get his number. Just thought I'd throw it out there.

These guys restored my trailer (sandblast, paint, wires, bunks) for like $2000 a couple of years ago. I also added some other stuff, like a spare tire rack and guide posts for some extra money. I have been really happy with it.
Good luck,
Rob
I redid mine, new wheels and tires, paint, wireing, bunks,and pivot hitch, for about $1,500.00

The trailer was in good shape to start with, though.
Check E-bay I sold this trailer for $500.00

Thanks for all the help guys. Have you heard anything good about Garges Custom Trailers which I think is now Baja Trailers?
They qouted me a pretty reasonable price of $2,200.00.
That's a little cheaper than what I could refurb. mine for.
