[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1728914, member: 9096"] well, just for an example, I think we drove 2000 miles to get it, and the featherlite we'd looked at the time was $17K CAD or about 13K USD, so thats a starting point :) Another thing I didn't mention on why we chose our trailer was it was a tor-flex axle... there seems to be some debate about what personal preferences are, but I can say that that axle hasn't been touched in 30 years, while the 7k spring axles under my 20 ft flatdeck trailer have caused me nothing but grief, the pin bushings are eternally worn out (time for the 3rd set of bushings since 2012) and I hardly ever use the thing.. Yes, our roads are rough and it kicks the crap out of them, but I won't be getting another set of leaf sprung axles on anything but the lightest duty stuff [/QUOTE]
