ya, I have kinda been aware of that myself..
SnoWest Project Trailer 2015: Building a "MORE" perfect trailer.
- Thread starter christopher
- Start date
Have they said when you might see this trailer?
Nope
Delivery hasn't even come up in the discussion.
But I can't really get any use out of it before Thanksgiving around here.
Unless we get SUPER LUCKY, we just don't have a lot of snow before then.
The only reason they would want to push delivery is for me to drag it along to the SW Snowshows and show it off.
Got the first new set of drawings.
Will get them converted into a JPG and posted.
This is what I see on the new drawing so far...
Heater upgraded to 40K BTU
Stereo upgraded
Speakers upgraded
Floor tie downs upgraded
Additional shelf added to rear
Subwoofer cabinet added
8K radiant heater added to rear of trailer to balance heat..

Did I miss it, how many axles?
Still TWO as of right now
Have you thought about maybe doing a spread axle? Instead of going three axles?
Not familiar with the term?
How do you turn?
With the steering wheel in your truck? J/K
it's really no different than turning with a tri-axle trailer. You get a bit more tire slide/drag then with a tandem axle especially on tight turns but the spread axle is said to ride better. You see it a lot in semi trailers as you can actually get more weight on the trailer as it spreads out the weight per axle if I remember correct (but the trailer has to be built for the extra weight)
I guess the better question would be how did the last trailer pull for you? Because your new one should be the same correct. If you were happy with the last one I would not change the new one. Just my opinion.
heres the charmac spread axle:
it rides like a triple. obviously you get a bit more tire scrub during tight turns but the trade off is WELL worth it IMO

Trailer TOWED just fine.
Wouldn't mind having a Turbo Diesel to pull with rather than a V10 though.
And a long bed would always be better than a short bed.

I bet if you hit up FORD, they'd build you one special just like Mirage is doing for your trailer...
I am holding out for the new 2016 F250 coming out next November.I bet if you hit up FORD, they'd build you one special just like Mirage is doing for your trailer...
Project is back on track.
Mirage just got back to me with responses to all of my comments.

Here is the final configuration drawing.
Will get a detailed parts list posted later today and an item by item response from Mirage to my initial set of comments from last season.
All in all they really do seem to be stepping up to the plate to make this trailer better and better.
