Default OT Trailer blew away in Tornado wtb new one.

LTB newer 2 car race trailer.
Mine got totaled today.

No stacker need to tow with Dually.

High quality aluminum.
Min 7' inside clear.

I need a pointy aero nose for 85+mph cruising.

About to order new Renegade, thought maybe some knows of someone selling used.

I know the California DE CUP is seeing who can spend the most on a trailer.. Mooty, selling?

mooty's trailer is not aluminum. it's composite panels no wrinkles or ripples. low option with nothing in it. does have a place for generator. electric ram, tripple axle 21000 lbs. 44' GN. you will like it. $40,000 new. $42,000 since i used it.

if u want alum, get renegade or gold rush. go big or go home. lets not play with kiddie trailers. talk to stujelly. they man knows trailers. he's got 47.5' gold rush pulled by dually

Trakcar, get TPD, best trailer I have ever known. 2 car trailer. Fiat doesn't like Renegade.

TPD has super smooth walls, awesome features, best cabinets, foldable table and seats, you can make it a nice party place, not the mess you had before.

Generators are hidden away, ladders to sit on the roof and watch race from there.

Listen to Mooty, he had a TPD, and I have witnessed many TPD on the West Coast, best trailer, period.

But these are steel right?
What would a 44-48' weigh?
I need triple axle lightweight and pointier nose.
These guys have a website, i'll look but I really like good local support from my dealer service guy.

If your using a Dually to tow, then just get a steel trailer. Aluminum is stupid expensive right now. United makes a great triple axle, round top, gooseneck.

Edit: Just saw you need to tow 2 cars, in that case I'd go aluminum. Try to get a rounded top if you can, really helps.

sending you docs, I have plenty of info on TPD.

44' empty with cabinets, 2 generators, L shape table, should be under 8,000.

The 20' empty no options is 2,950 lbs. Mooty's first one was 20' and loaded with many features, empty weight at 3,850 lbs. Mooty has bought 3 or 4 TPD that I know of.

Seriously, nothing is better than TPD, they are cooler on the inside, something really needed in Florida (Metal wall trailers melt the inside content).

We have around 500 trailers (53' van body and some flat beds), so I know trucks and trailers and done some legwork. I have a 30' Featherlite and I would not screw around with anything else. I pull it with a monster F450.

Definitely buy Aluminum for weight savings (save fuel, save the tow vehicle, big resale+, and no corrosion, plus they are more classy)!

Take a look at the Featherlite 4951.
+ Renegade is great specially if you are gonna buy a coach and matching trailer.
+ TPD is great but that's west coast not sure if they also build them on the east coast? Not sure who pays for shipping.

PM me if I can help you.

I need 7' clear inside, 60" side door and aero nose for sure, I cruise at 85-95 all the new Duallies will do that. Looking to replace my "11 Dodge Dually with another one soon anyway so I will get a bit more OEM power.

The Featherlites look so unfinished inside?1..

TPD seems heavy and I need local support, my local guy only does Renegade, I guess he will service them, but I don't even know of a featherlite dealer in South Florida.

Yes, light(ning) fast with a pointy bubble nose, I have now, but now one will build me a bubble nose, just the pointy part :-(

I have not looked yet, travelling every day, but I will research when I come home.

I redid the trailer completely, new wrap, new brakes, polished all aluminum edges, new lights, less than a week later it was on the news it got bashed against 3 tree's it was parked next to until it fell over on its side and was bent like a banana. The finally totaled it yesterday.

TPD is the best by far. Weight is not horrible, it is extremely rigid structure, steel is used for the frame, composite panels make up the skin.

Look, order it now or buy Mooty's then come out west, do a tour and take it home.
