Canadian trailer source?

Postby AndyL » Sun Jun 02, 2013 1:08 pm

Ok gotta ask as the Canadian market sucks ...

Has anyone found a canadian retailer that isn't exorbitantly priced? My local sources seem to be be 5x the NT and HF equivalents...

NT to ship here is nuts, HF doesnt ship - and I'm without a passport, so visiting the billings location is not working for me...

Tell me about it. Sometimes it sucks living up here :( I went the Craigslist route for both of my frames. #2 was free! You just have to be patient and something will come along.

Ouch... That many good options huh?

Guess it's time to fill out a passport application and plan a bulk buy at HF in billings... :lol:

I only saw extremely expensive trailers around here. I agree with Craigslist hunt. Also, as suggested here before, use your network of friends and try to look around for rotten trailers around you and ask if they want to get rid of it for cheap. I am going to use rusted trailer that I got when I bought my house. I figured, purchasing new axle, tires and leaf springs are cheaper than buying new trailer.

Good luck with your trailer hunt.
