I am looking at a Trailers USA trailer. Two horse, bumper pull. I can't find any reviews on these trailers. Does anyone know if these trailers are any good?

I would shop for a well known brand that is sturdy and has a rep even if it is used. I do see that they have a few trailers that don't look bad, but who ever heard of them? or saw them?

I can't say I know much about these trailers other than I have seen them at shows/events and clearly a few people use them. I passed them over when I was shopping last year because they seemed to be extremely lightweight in comparison to other same sized high end aluminum trailers and the ones I see on the road age VERY FAST. I'm talking about a 2 year old trailer that looks worse than a 15 year old 4-star/Hart/Elite/Exiss/Sundowner. If you only used it 4-6 times a year I think it would be OK, but to say you are hauling it every week and all over the country I would tell you that quality is the best value. Get a high end trailer used, you'll be much happier and find shops more willing to work on it if needed including a better supply of parts. Some of those old tanks will last forever!

Bumping this up for more opinions. The ones shared here are pretty bad. A friend of mine who I really respect recommended them. I know they are not the high-end trailer brand... but from what I can tell, they do 100% fully welded. They are a small mom and pop shop, with no brand recognition, but I do think they make an OK trailer?
Anyone else? I'm thinking of ordering a custom built unique trailer....
