I am thinking about buying a trailer out of state at a dealership (the trailer is a Trails West listed on this site through B&V Enterprises in Oregon). Should I go and see the trailer before I buy (I live in Calif)? I know about the brand and have even trailered my horse in a model before. I just know nothing about this dealership. Any feedback would be appreciated.

I just bought a trailer from a dealer very far away from me. They had want I wanted in inventory and delivered it for free. I knew exactly what I wanted so it was easy. I did a lot of research locally and I knew the brand well.
If you are at all unsure about the trailer's amenities or quality, go see one at a local dealer first if you can. If you can't do that, agree in advance (and in writing) how you will handle the sitaution if they deliver the trailer and you don't like it. You don't want to get stuck with something you don't want!

I've delt with the people at B&V (I live here in Corvallis), and they are really nice, and great to work with. I almost bought a trails west from them, but changed my mind and went to a private seller and got an All aluminum.
B&V did however install my Gooseneck Hitch in my truck, and they did a great job. My friend bought a Trails West from them a few years ago, and has nothing but the best to say.
Talk to Collin, great guy. Even let me borrow his Car so I could make it to work while they were doing work on my Truck!
