Subject: Trail-Rite out of business
Info: (14751 views) Posted: Saturday 12-12-15 09:28:06 AM
When I purchased Libra (#113) in October it came with an E-Z Loader tandem axle galvanized trailer. Don't know what the new cost would be, but it towed wonderfully from Richmond 800+ miles up I-5 to Port Townsend, WA

:: I would totally agree Bill. If the class has the plans
:: then folks could use a more local trailer manufacturer
:: as well which would be awesome. That was one of the big
:: things for me considering having Trail-rite build a
:: trailer was having to drive from Hood River all the way
:: Santa Ana (probably an 18-20 hr drive) and then having
:: to pay CA sales tax on top of that LOL.

:: :: :: I called Trail-Rite in Santa Ana this morning to inquire
:: :: :: about a new e27 trailer and was informed they are out of
:: :: :: business. They did not know of anybody else taking over
:: :: :: the product line. I guess I'll call the Sacramento
:: :: :: company referenced in another thread; if anybody has any
:: :: :: other leads, please post.

:: :: If Trail-Rite isn't selling off its assets to another
:: :: manufacturer, it would be great if the class could get
:: :: the OEM specs and drawings from Trail-Rite before
:: :: they're gone. I got a new trailer from them a couple
:: :: years ago and it fit the boat perfectly with no fiddling
:: :: except minor pad adjustment. It would be a shame to lose
:: :: that information and have to re-engineer it later.
