TRAILER QUESTION: Which do you prefer and WHY? Trailswest or Logan Coach???

[christopher]

Did anyone find the weight of a Logan Coach gooseneck, I am trying to find a weight but no luck so far.

I wish they had a better website.

The couple of people I have talked both said north of 9,000lbs. But neither can confirm for sure.

I really just need to contact them directly at this point and see if we can't get some REAL VERIFIED numbers on these beasts.

Maybe borrow a couple trailers from manufacturing and just drive them over to the scales.?

29' gooseneck is 8800 dry, with the zbro's package, dual heater, cabinets etc!

Is that on the axles only or with the tongue weights as well?

I talked with a gentleman who works at the factory.

This evening I finally reached out directly to LOGAN COACH about the possibility of building up a new SnoWest Project Trailer.
Invited them to come take a look at this discussion.
Either way I expect I will now be able to get some hard fast answers to this questions.

From what I seen. Logan coach is what I would build. It would be nice to have a shorter version of keith curtis’s unit.

Ya, I have to admit, the number of PRIVATE POSITIVE comments from other riders that bought the Logans has been surprising.
No one seems to regret having made that purchase, and when it comes to trailers, thats the Exception and not the norm!

Nice, thanks for letting me know that.
The discussion with Logan Coach about a Project Trailer has begun.
Not a clue if they are interested or not as yet.
But i suspect we will hear back from them soon enough.

personally I hope they chose to work with us.
It would be really nice to build out a High-End snowmobile trailer and put it to the weekly test like did with the previous trailers.

Possibly, if the speed limit allowed.
