Where are the pics of the trailer loaded? I looked through this trailer in Preston last year and absolutely loved it. We stepped it off several times trying to decide whether you can get five sleds into it by loading in the front, facing the sleds to the rear. Very curious to see how they sit inside.
I will try to get them today, got it home and loaded from the rear first to see how it would work out and then unloaded and reloaded from the front. It worked very well from the front and more of the weight over the axles it pulled better as well.
I have to agree that 18K was a tuff pill to swallow but, I/we have been through pretty much all of the other trailers out there and the quality of the Trails West trailers are by far at the top of the list. We currently have another trailer in our fleet that was supposed to be "The Best" and we paid $12K for a less than great trailer. The Issue I have is you/I spend an average of 8 to 10 thousand dollars for a sled then another few thou in go fast goodies multiply that times 4 sleds (I have two Kids and a wife) helmets and other gear and you have over 50K worth of sledding investment and I want a trailer to protect that investment and I have found that with Trails West. I was ready to buy a bumper Pull trailer and Shane offered me this Goose and it is by far the best choice for ME I prefer to pull Goose neck trailers and I am sure it will have it's disadvantages but I am willing to work through them. Also I would add that after several years of watching several of Trails West Goose neck and bumper pull trailers get beat to death hauling horses to and from the back country I can rest a little easier knowing that my trailer will not fall apart.....
