Hi folks,
I'm looking at a trails west trailer, which is a steel trailer but the
steel is galvanized, and painted with the auto paint process so
presumedly resists rust (I would assume about as good as a car does).
Steel is quite a bit cheaper than aluminum so I can buy more features
for the dollar, but of course eventually have to face the rust issue. I
hope to have this trailer for 15 years (using it for mostly local trips
about 3 times a month and several cross country trips per year).
Trails West would be my first choice in steel trailers. They're popular
around here and they seem well built.
I was wondering if any fjord folks have any experience with the trails
west brand? what are your thoughts on the galvanized steel vs
aluminum? I would have to buy a used aluminum trailer to be able to fit
into my budget.
If you shop around and are patient, you can find a decent used aluminum
trailer.
Also, what stall width do you prefer for the draftier fjords?
Our Fjord fits just fine in the standard stalls in our Silverlite
trailer. If anything, they're a bit too wide (and the TB thinks they're
too small).
