Anyone try to buy a trailer lately?

Something else I found out Friday:
I was talking to my Kaufman salesman about a deck over 16k-20k bumper pull for a future project. He built the trailer on paper for me (specs, price, etc) and we discussed various options.
He asked me if I was looking at any competitors trailers. I said “yes, I’m also looking at Appalachian”. He told me Kaufman Trailers now OWNS Appalachian Trailers!

I also heard several other names are combining together. Big Tex and a few others, but can’t remember who. I also heard B-Wise and 2 others are combining.

Mergers make sense in the industry with a lot of competition. Not always in the interest of consumers. Good for stockholders, probably.

Well the trailer I spoke about earlier in the thread took longer than 2 weeks, but looks like it will come in at 3 weeks. They sent me a picture tuesday telling me it just got out of paint. It should have its decking completed by tomorrow. I am pretty happy to downsize to this trailer and sell my huge one hopefully for a good price.

Well, I finally picked my H&H Speedloader. Turned out much nicer than the earlier pics showed. Except for a few welds I’ll clean up myself.

It is getting worse. I did a build on a new Diamond C LPD and LPT in a 16-18' dump. The dealer is saying they might not build it this year

After you do the build on D/C's web site, a notice pops up, to be advised, "Dealers are selling at or near or over MSRP"!!

MSRP on a 16' LPT is $20,087 and a 18' LPD is $21,026!!

Trying to find any brand of deck over 18-20k with full width ramps in red.
Nobody has anything available for 25-35 weeks.
By then, we might outlaw rubber tires to save the salmon or might have another virus from a lab doing “gain of function“ research!
