I got an estimate from Triad Trailers for a new E27 trialer. A bit on the high side: the cost of a single axle Express 27 Triad Trailer painted with no ramp launching capabilities is $2,950.00 plus shipping to California. An estimated shipping cost is roughly $800-900. Galvanized and all the extras added up from their.

The folks at Triad were super-helpful and their trailers appear to be of the highest quality. They can be reached at triadtrls@aol.com.

Ultimately, I just spent the money to fix up my trailer...
