    Research/ Experience &Concern about Trailer Manufacturer Response

    Waveone, we appear to be looking for the same type of trailer. Mine will be used mainly for surf fishing on the south Texas beaches and a little bit of hunting. One thing I do need with all of the salt, spray, and extreme humidity is for the frame to be aluminum and the box not made of wood...

    The all new Wildlands trailer door

    The door looks great. Regarding the Teton X, I think if they changed the box from wood to aluminum and composite they would have a real winner.

    This statement that these builders are in it for the love of it always makes me chuckle every time it gets posted.

    Off-Road Trailer Recommendations - Budget <= 20K

    Construction wise I would look at the intech luna rover or pursue. All aluminum frame and structure. Most of the people who post on here who own them seem to have nothing but good things to say about them. I'm not sure anyone can say which one is the best. It's more of a question of which...

    Actual build cost vs markup on US built off road trailers/teardrops.

    Naters, I think I am leaning towards and intech trailer. Either a pursue or a Luna. Has the aluminum structure I like and also has a good A/C unit, plus there are several places within 2 hours of me that I can pick one up and get it serviced if need be.

    Actual build cost vs markup on US built off road trailers/teardrops.

    I don't have a price point or a profit percentage that I think is appropriate or fair. That's not something I was even putting any thought into originally. The original question was one inquiring about the large price differences between companies that basically use the same overall design...

    Maybe you ought to take a breath and read the very first post in the thread. You dont seem to answer any of the questions in the original question with anything pertinent. It wasn't too long after I asked that Moby 1 went under. I would question the price of my breakfast if I paid 50% up...

    Because they can (Most Likely) Because people will pay it(Most Likely) Because they put time and labor into emailing/phone calls/meeting that customer's specific requests before deposit(Absolutely Ridiculous) Because you're not dealing with a Thor or a Forest River that has working capital and...

    Actual build cost vs markup on US built off road trailers/teardrops.

    If there are all of these costs factored into the final price then why do a large portion of these manufacturers want 5-10k deposits? To me it sounds like they are expecting the buyers to float their cost of doing business. I had my entire kitchen and bathrooms redone by small local companies...

    For many years I was the director of business development for a large electromagnetic compliance laboratory, so I think I have a firm grasp on marketing and sales.
