Trailer EBY or Featherlite?

Looking at new trailers wondering what your experiences were?

I know it was not one of the options listed but we like our Exiss trailer real well. Good price too.

got a website for them? What I like about EBY is that they give you any option you can think of but, you pay for it too.

Does anyone have prices on a 7x20 or 7x24 straight stock trailer.

May want to do a search on here. I've voiced my opinion on these two a few times before, not wanting to bash either breed but they both have faults. If by chance you do get a Featherlite get a roll-up door on the back. The inside slider sucks.

The one option I really like on the Eby's is the sliding compartment door. It lets you resize your compartment by moving the door forward or backward. If you do anything with show animals it's pretty cool since you can put your tack up front and slide teh door up and give yourself more room.

I'd also check to see if they rivet or weld the trailers since Featherlites can be an issue with welds breaking, or so I've heard.

This is the reason we went with a Wilson over a Featherlite--the Wilson's are riveted instead of welded. We pull through the pasture quite a bit so we needed a trailer with a little flex. That said, I think Featherlite and Eby both make a pretty good trailer as well. The nice thing about aluminum trailers is that they hold their value.
