Default 53' Race Transporter Wanted

Black Sheep Racing is looking for a 53' race transporter. Must have liftgate, 2 car upper deck, 1 car lower deck with cabinets & work counter that allow for pit cart and Taylor Dunn storage in between. Also require a lounge in the upper compartment. Please PM with any leads.

Think most of the transporters are 48'. Have no idea why. Have noticed this because my Featherlite is a true 53' but mine is an enclosed car hauler not a transporter.

Budget? A few used but decent 53 FL in the 150 range. When I talked to FL, they wanted ~330 for a basic new one. Bruce, Hi-Tech, t&e were all generally the same +/- 30m. I'll forward you a few of the listings I've come across, as I want the 53' ameneties but in a 42' package.

Flexible on budget. Would like to get the newest, cleanest trailer that meets our needs. We’ve already engaged with Featherlite on spec’ing a new one.

Have you considered Renegade? Their liftgate models from 2015 onwards are damn nice. Just too small for our needs.

Yes, but renegade has stopped building trailers now; apparently the RV business is doing that well, so good for them!

​​​​​My only issue with them is the FRP construction. If you're looking at new featherlite, look at Bruce and Hi-Tech too. I'll send you a pm when we get stationary.

My 24’ TPD trailer is FRP and I love it. Is it not strong enough on a heavy duty transporter?

I was told that some states, FL being one of them, doesn't allow registration of any trailer longer than 48'

This may be the reason I have never seen a 53' transporter.
