Looking for a new trailer for door car or a dragster. Closest dealer is Haulmark. Vintage looks good, how about Cargomate?

Any good, bad ugly on the above? I have a good Pace, but it is a little tight and can't get both the golf cart and door car in it.

Thanks,
Pooch

I have a 2021 vintage 34'. So far it's been a nice trailer. Pulls great, the heavy axles make it ride a tad rough (judging by the way things move in the cabinets) and the only issue I had was one outlet didn't work, when I contacted them they said no problem take it somewhere and send us the bill we will pay it no questions asked, well...I replaced the outlet but I thought the customer service was great.

You're not far from Intech.. Nappanee, IN. ?? I absolutely love my 2018 28' Lite. Has a built in winch, AC, extra outlets (interior / exterior) Not cheap but so worth it, very nice quality... 5200lb dexters, 225-75-15's. Highly recommend.

Like my 26', also from InTech. Pewter color and side rain gutters keep the rain stains from showing up. Hardly ever have to wash it. I don't have the 16" wheels/tires, but will the next time. Pulling with a 1/2 ton Silverado with 3.42 gears. Mini golf cart (Cricket brand from Florida) fits just fine with G body race car. Homemade aluminum bench and tool box across 2/3 of front wall. Pull out side step is great for short people. Plate for winch mount welded in. (For some reason they declined to drill the bolt pattern for the winch even though I gave them the template for it.) 6 extra 12 volt round lights in ceiling and 2 LED lights down low on walls in back for night loading/tie down, on separate switch. Wish I had the longer tongue/hitch. 2 roof vents and MAX AIR A/C covers so you can leave the vents open all the time and not get blown apart when you forget the crank them down before traveling. Double thickness plate where the equalizer bars hooks clamp on the tongue. Round stock welded on bottom of tongue to hook up safety chains when not in use.

Only trouble I have had is silicone sealer for roof coves came apart and they fixed that. Amish don't know electrical. They did not run ground wires to common and back to battery. Just screwed light grounds to frame. Lights and vent fans had issues until I fixed them.

I'm a pack rat.

My small trailer weighs ~12,000 lbs.
The big one weighs ~20,000 lbs.
I bring two of everything and the kitchen sink!!!

I had no idea a trailer that big could weigh 4,000???

HEY, if it's amazing, it's amazing. That set up is amazing!!!

I would look at a gooseneck trailer. They pull sooooooo much nicer than a tag, and are far easier on your truck, as the pin weight is directly overtop of the rear axle. I went from a 28' tag, to a 34' gn that weighs 2500# more, and it gets better gas mileage due to the wind already being deflected by the truck, goes around the smaller frontal area of the gn. I also made my front neck section into a sleeping area. Works out great for what I'm doing.

I agree on the gooseneck... I pull a 37' 13,500lb fifth wheel ... and it pulls like a dream. Sometime down the road, yes a gooseneck enclosed will be on the list for sure... this does the job nicely and unless you're pulling it with a Ford or Dodge, you'll have no issues whatsoever off the 2.5" Chevy HD factory hitch. ;) Just kidding ... Just kidding...
