executive airport). I met with the president of the company, got a tour of

Additional Items of Interest:
-
Since it is a tube steel frame
and the 'skin' is bonded, there are no rivets, no 'dimples' and no rust or
weather marks. It really make
for a nice clean smooth look.
-
The wheel fenders are diamond plate.
-
The owner said that a 12 foot
will be just as easy to tow as a 10 foot and he recommended it
-
The torsion bars are a much
smoother ride.
-
Because of torsion bars, the
floor of the trailer is a bit lower which makes lifting stuff into it
easier, plus it lowers the center of gravity to make it more stable.
-
The tube steel frame means that
the 'carcass' provides the structural support rather than depending on a 'unibody'
type of construction for rigidity.
-
The tube steel frame will make
mounting the shelves, bike racks, etc. very secure.
-
The hardware (hinges, etc.) looks
'beefier' than the other stuff I have seen
