opinions on Longhorn trailers

I currently have a 30' PJ trailer, so I know what a quality trailer is made like......however looking at this trailer on ebay it appears to be well made but costs quite a bit less than a PJ trailer of the same size.....was my trailer over priced or is this just a good buy....thanks Chris.

That's what trailers like that sell for around here in Indiana. PJ have always been higher because of the name recognition. We see a lot of the lesser known small shop trailers in my area. I would say this trailer is just about as good, 95%, as your PJ.

The only thing I notice is the Neck is made out of C channel and not I beam. My 32' hydro dove is 12" 19lb per foot I beam. Other than that seems like a good buy.

load max and pj trailers are made by brothers (at least that is what I was told).....load max is an excellent trailer.

I herd the same thing. The story I herd is the manufacturing facilities are basically across the street from oneanother and the brothers don't like each other. When I bought the trailer there was a PJ and a loadmax side by side. one was a 30' the other a 38'. I liked it because I could compare the 2 side by side. The loadmax had the piereced frame standard and the PJ was extra. the difference in loading height was about 4". Both very well built trailers but the loadmax they had in the 32' I was looking for.
