Mirage or Interstate

[boxer]

I had the spray in bedliner installed & its still worKing good, It was $800 to have it done 5 years ago. Mine is only a 19'.

I bought a charmac after the dealer here sold both charmac and mirage. He said maybe in a couple of years the mirage might get all the bugs worked out and build a little better quality trailer. Really no comparison between the 2. The mirage trailer floor is nice but remember on trailers you do get what you pay for. For the most part I have noticed most interstate owners are content with there trailers.

I'm on my 4th Interstate trailer with the first 3 being cargo's set up for motorcycle use. My newest is a 19' snow sport. I towed it over 400 miles this weekend and it tows great. The first 200 miles were empty on crappy roads and it tracked better than expected. With weight, it was even better. I did notice that it took a couple hundred miles before the brakes really started to grab. Break in? The finished ceiling and walls seem to brighten it up inside when the lights are on and I really like the fact that it has ceiling vents. I've added tie down hangers, a fold down work bench from TowRax.com, and removable wheel chocks (for dirt bikes) . I would like to seal the floor, but haven't decided what to use. I will probably add a heater of some kind soon.

The V-nose didn't seem to change anything as far as milage. I think the extra heighth of the snow trailer negates any advantages of the V-nose. I averaged 12.5mpg with my Cummins which is the same I was getting with my last 7x14 cargo. This is with a Bully Dog Triple Dog set on Tow/economy and running around 75mph.

Pit products have the best prices and have nice equipment for the "extra's".

I loved my mirage until this past few weeks. 2 tires blew out on different side and there big front door up front broke the hinges. I called them for warranty work and they want you to prove its there fault and this thing is only a few months old. I love the floor and some of the cool stuff there coming up with but you won't want to deal with them. This trailer is horrible if it can't even make it a year

Who did you talk to at Mirage? Get names and times and give them a call back. I've had nothing but great service from their facility in Nampa. If you're not being treated right the management will want to hear about it.

Interstate for a few years now, no question. My friends with mirages are really happy in the begining but over time they don't seem that way. Guy with a Pace same way. I have the all- sport and love it.

I have had a Mirage for two seasons now and have only had a trailer brake wire rub and short out. Took in to the dealer in Ogden Utah and they had it replaced in 1/2 hour. Love the floor the front door and they built it with the extras and the way I wanted it.
I pull it with no problems and have no complaints.

To add to the list of bull**** I've had to deal with since buying my Mirage ... the spare tire mount apparently wiggled itself out of the wall. How nice, the spare tire was just mounted in there with self-tapping screws.

Anyways.

You couldn't pay me to buy another Mirage.

This thing is gonna have completley fallen apart within 3 years.
