Looking for some advice Haulmark vs United and trade in value on used trailer.

I'm looking at upgrading trailers possibly and wondering if anyone else has any experience with either a Haulmark Grizzly model or United UXGN. Both that I'm comparing are 32ftx8.5ft Gooseneck trailers with tandem 7k axles. The Haulmark is $2500 less then United. Also the trailer I'm getting rid of is a 2002 United 25X7 enclosed, full laun liner, oil rack, toolbox rack, 8ft fold up bench, furnace with ducting, RV 110v to 12v converter charger, 12 flourescant lights, 12v regular lights, built in LP tank and battery compartment, aluminum wheels, LED marker and backup lights. Tires were replaced last year along with alignment always kept inside. I would say its in good condition probably great considering that its 11yrs old. What do you think its worth. Thanks for any help.

I just picked up a new haulmark snowmobile trailer.
they look nice. I'm not all that happy with it. Some silly design features that are dumb. Generally not that great construction when you start really looking. Better than others I looked at though. When I climbed under to check lugs and breaks, found they didn't undercoat trailer as stated, less than 1 month old and have lots of rust. In the middle of warranty claim right now. That is just one issue.
Look good and hard at whatever trailer you buy. Do not trust dealer or mfg to do a quality job

Thank you that is the kinda information I was looking for. With information like that its hard to trade when you know what you have at least. I have decided to keep mine for a few more years its still in good shape and I've done so much to get it set up the way I want. Some day though I will have to trade I suppose. Guess I better start saving up the United was about 3000 more then a haulmark and they just go up from there.
