Default Any ALCOM trailer reviews??

ALCOM enclosed car haulers are quite confusing, and comes in several names for aluminum builds (EZ Hauler, Mission, Stealth). They all appear to be the same. I have an ATC Quest enclosed trailer and would rank it equal to Bravo. I would rank InTech and Sundowner higher though. But, I hardly ever see any of these Alcom trailers in the paddock - how come considering they are less expensive? Anyone had bad experience with them? At face value, the only thing that really concerns me is the 17" floor deck height compared to normal 20" on others. Seems like much easier to drag on stuff.

I believe all are made in Maine, so the freight to TX would be a killer. They are popular in the Northeast. There are some quality differences between them. I think it goes EZ Hauler, Stealth, Mission, but I could be wrong as it's been a bit since I looked at them. They are decent, but not near an ATC. They are built differently and have a lower fit/finish.

Alcom actually has several manufacturing plants around the country, even one in Waco, TX. Thus the reason for getting my attention. I know lots of products have name brand markups, but far less expensive usually means red flag to me. That low ride height is really problematic pulling behind a 41' Renegade and the pendulum effect on the trailer.

I have bought thousands and thousands of trailers for myself, never heard of them.

Sundowner is in OK - not far from you. They really have great aluminum structure, but they cannot do the custom cabinetry as Intech.

…and don't forget that on resale, brand matters.

I have an enclosed aluminum 16x7 (I forgot the exact size sorry) bought new, but I use it as storage. One of the panel on the side kind of popped from sitting. I live in CA and this unit was built in montana
