I put this in the trailer section, but i need a reply by friday so im putting it here also.

How are they? Im looking at a 18ft fulldeck open car trailer, and one of the places i looked has dively trailers. The guy said it was rated @ 7000# had 14" Bias-ply tires, LED lights, and 4 wheel brakes. The Price is right but im just wondering if anyone has used, has this brand trailer. I plan on towing my camaro w/ a race weight of around 3000#. Thanks

I haven't heard of them before so I can't comment about quality or anything, but I do know a few things to look for, like "C" channel is stronger than angle trusses that some of the cheaper models use, also the closer they are together the stronger, C channel 16" apart much stronger than angle 24" apart etc..

No idea here either, never heard of them. Other than the things Steve suggested, it seems to have the right "key" stuff. LED lights and 4 wheel brakes on a 7k trailer is pretty "premium" so chances are better than average (I would think) that it is a good trailer. But without looking at the construction, that could be misleading...

Make sure it has a coupler rated for 7K. I think a 2 5/16" is better than a 2". most of the 2" couplers are only rated for 5/6K.

yeah it has a 2 5/16" coupler, and in the picture it appears to have C or I beam truses. Here is a picture, but its going to be 18ft and a full deck
