I had it custom made with the man door moved up away from the car and the escape door also moved up so that I can fully open the car door to get out. I have a rubber floor, white walls, 5200 lb axles, alum wheels, heavy duty frame, in floor e track, beavertail and a few other options. Very inexpensive. $11000 delivered 500 miles. It pulls like a dream. https://www.lightningtrailers.com/pr...270&Image=9886

Looks near Identical to our custom ordered trailer - 22ft with a 3 foot V, double fold down ramp with check plate double fold - all rubber check floors, white finished roof and walls, we have a set of cabinets up high in the V and our ceiling is 8ft to accommodate our 1940 FORD Woodie Wagon which is pretty TALL - it also has built in jack stands on the rear corners so you can load/unload with out it being attached to a truck.

We have the Reese sway control and load levelers... the SWAY control was a LIFE SAVER last year when I was on the way back from the Cinci NCRS Regionals there were 50 MPH gusts when I came down through Fancy Gap and the truck and trailer were taking alot of side winds.

Weighs 5500
Cost right at $14,500
Pulling with a Duramax GMC.
FWIW the woodie wagon has never been in the trailer... it's been driven near 30,000 miles since being restored.

Just ditched my Reese weight distribution hitch for the Andersen. It's simpler, lighter and offers built in sway control. Used it a few times and so far, I like it much better than the traditional WD hitches....worth a look.

I saw you said you paid 11k for it how long ago? I’m looking into atc and they’re 24-36k used ones aren’t much cheaper I wanted to spend under 15 but doesn’t seem like that will be the case

Rich, this is local to me, but you may be able to find a dealer closer to you with a similar price. Nothing fancy, but spankin' new and has an escape door for under $15k

I did a bunch of looking myself and eventually ordered a CarMate trailer. 8.5 x 24 with escape door, rubber coin floor, white laminate walls and ceiling, aluminum wheels, 6,000 lb axles, e-track from to back. It is about $18,500 with these options. Looked at ATC, nice for sure but couldn't justify the extra $10-12K for the lighter weight since I'll probably only use it it 10-12 times per year.
Won't get it until April, but feel lucky at that. Others that I looked at were quoting 12-14 months delivery.

Ive been putting off buying a trailer for a few years but I followed the market and have noticed trailers have went up 50% in the last year. I am too cheap to pay the extra now so I am going to wait and see if the bottom falls out.

Cost of steel and aluminum accounts for a lot of that increase. Labor some too, as many manufacturers have had to raise wages to attract workers.
