THERE ARE A FEW FOR SALE IN THE CLASSIFIEDS HERE BUT CHECK OUT SITES LIKE WWW.TRUCKPAPER.COM, GO TO THE DIFFERENT TRAILER MANUFACTURER SITES THEY USUALLY HAVE USED INVENTORY FOR SALE OR JUST CHECK YOUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER OR CLASSIFIEDS... IF YOU'RE PATIENT AND DO YOUR RESEARCH YOU CAN FIND A GOOD DEAL ON USED.

Those two are the top two that are well known. The cornhuskers and merrits are very light, however... they seem cheaply made and break much faster.. WILSON would get our vote!

All have pros and cons I own a 2010 Timpte 4310278 with aluminum sub frame 5th wheel and super singles and I weigh 28900 woth 300 gallons of fuel on, I'd have a single walled trailer if i was going to run local, but hey it's all about what you prefer

I have ran them all, still have a 1983 tempte and it is a great trailer, has stood the test f time and runs everyday putting money in my pocket instead of making payments to the bank. alos have 2007 wilson and it to is a good trailer but it has spent more time in the shop in 3 years than the tempte has in 27 years
