Here is a 5x8 on Ebay, if it's still there:

Sharon, that is the same NEW Northern Tool Ultra-Tow Steel 5x8 Trailer that I described in the post right above yours...

Yours have a Northern Tool address but this one has an Ebay address, not Northern Tool. Did you possibly check where that one is located? I didn't. It may be from a private party somewhere closer. Anyway, as stated before, you will likely have some difficulty finding a kit due to the trade war tariffs as most are made in China. You may have to buy used. Oh, and yes, Red Trailers closed about a decade ago when the owner encountered major health problems. Those trailers were also made in China.

Yeah, I checked it... It's just Northern Tool using Ebay as an additional sales outlet.. The trailer is listed New in Savage, Minnesota. The auction says they have 10 available at that price of $549.99 .. so that's good news. Shipping is $299.99 to my home in Green Valley, Arizona (midway between Tucson and the Mexican Border at Nogales). So for me, that's $849.98 + Tax.

Ouch! If it is already put together, ready to tow, you might be able to find someone who would tow it down for the price of gas but I don't know if I'd trust that person.
Sorry, you're in a hard spot.

This 5x8 aluminum is available but a little pricey.

$850 is starting to sound better!

They also have an intriguing 5x10 for $1299 in stock near me.

They have to be in stock elsewhere or go to the store and order it.
