Been looking to upgrade my trailer, and came across the Appalachian trailer website. Looking for a light deck over. Their prices are cheap.......For a reason? Even made me consider a goose neck??? Any one own one care to comment? Thank you.
I owned an Appalachian 20' 12K goose neck for a few years. I put a 9K winch on it. Never had any problems but I only hauled light equipment and vehicles under 10K. I bought it used for about 2K and thought it was a decent trailer.
I sold it because the goose neck was a deck over trailer (the deck sits about 3' high) and many times I had problems loading low ground clearance vehicles. Longer ramps would have helped but I didn't want to buy or build them.
I bought a 20' tilt bed trailer (the deck is only 20" above ground and the whole deck tilts) which works much better for me.
Never had one but have not heard anything bad about them.
Just make sure you can live with a Deck Over and a GN. I had both because I thought they were cool and a GN was Big Truck Stuff. I hated it pretty much as soon as I got it. Too high of a deck for my liking and the main thing was I hated not having the bed of my truck.
Think it out first. Not saying a GN or deck over is a bad thing but I am much happier with my Bumper pull low boy now.
