    Paul's inventory changes often and unfortunately at one point he sold off a bunch to cover family medical bills. That said last time I was there he had pallet racks full of them 20 feet high and the floor littered with them . Real nice collection of old iron dogs and Turner Maine is a short drive but call to check their viewing hours

    Have you decided on wether you're going with a lower trailer with wheel wells visible inside or a deck over style with a completely flat floor common with sled haulers? I have a steel 26' V-nose deck over with 5200# axles and it's good and its not. It's great for towing over rough terrain due to the ground clearance but it's a bit quirky on the highway in cross winds or when passing semis. You definitely have to watch the sway. Access and egress is a PITA too as they only put one step on at the man door? Also the panels on mine are screwed on and quite a few have broken off for some reason. If I were to purchase again I think I would have gone with the lower style with one piece sides. Mine sits at 4650lbs empty.

    I was looking at the deckovers and they talk about them being stronger because the frame is around the lower perimeter. I imagined the V-nose helping with that sway substantially. You would think with the perimeter floor strength that it would be less likley to snap off the panel screws.I would definitely want a fold down rear door, those take a lot of the loading work away.
    This is the kind of things i am interested in hearing about. People sure aren't gonna hear that from to many salesman!

    It's definitely strong as I carry my 1952 Army jeep in it with trailer which has a combined weight of around 3,500#. A lot of the deck over trailers also have the second ramp door on the left side of the V for removing sleds. It's handy at times. Both ramps can get very slippery due to the angle from the added height.
