Doing a quick check to see if this sounds like a good deal....

My race trailer is an open Texas Bragg with a tire carrier up front...lightweight, low and works great....except that I'm a lazy bastard and I don't want to load and unload all of my support equipment everytime I go racing.

I have found a 20' enclosed trailer, dual axle, with a beaver tail and cabinets for ~$3.5K to $4K (I'm still negotiating price). The trailer is in great shape.

My question:

Is this a good price....it seems to be...but just checking....

Bill

I'd say go for it.
Repack the wheel bearings, check all the steel underneath for cracks, check the brakes, you're in business. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
I have a 20' enclosed. You'll be surprised how much junk you end up piling in because you have room. Check the loaded weight. I think it's Sherborne (?) makes a little gauge for about $100 so you can adjust the tongue weight. I ended up moving my car back about 6" and took almost 200# off the tongue. I tow with a p/u and added Air Lifts to it this year that cost about $200.
