We are going to head to Ct tomorow and look at this trailer. The LQ needs a break from winter roads and we havn't been able to get into small trail heads for years now.

Any advise? Is that polished stainless or just a gray paint.  The sales person says stainless steel.

My wife used to own a kingston and they were stainless, though her's was painted white on the exterior...My wife has also bought a C&C from Audrey Bernstein, who happens to also be a horse person... at Action Trailers and has been quite happy with the product...if Ernesto is still there doing trailer setups say hi from us...

http://www.kingstontrailers.com/index.html From their website...Kingston trailers are built with uncompromising commitment to safety and quality. The steel frame is designed to withstand the roughest of road conditions. The stylish aluminum outer skin, finished in baked white or silver acrylic enamel, is bonded to the frame with a special adhesive designed to reduce wind noise, buffeting and rattling. This process also eliminates electrolysis.

That's what's called a satin or brushed aluminum finish..... Simular aluminum skin to what Trailet and Hawk used.

Looks like a nice trailer but the price seems high for the age. Kingston has a goood reputation but it still seems high.

I agree way too high for a 13 year old alum skin trailer.  They didn't cost much more than that new back then....
