New Continental Cargo trailer

[bigbendhiker]

Another reasonably sized CT that WILL fit in the garage ... very sensible

If reasonably sized just means it WILL fit in the garage then My 24' footer has room to spare.

Now that's one impressive garage.

Scott,

I've been kicking around the idea of a CT conversion for my next build but would like to see a few CTs up close and personal before I decide which one to get if I go this route. Did you purchase your CT from one of those trailer dealers near Terrell? If so, could you comment on your experience please?

Thank you,
Tom

Tom,

I purchased my trailer from 380 trailers in Princeton. It's about 5 miles east of McKinney on US380. I was very pleased with the purchase experience. They had several on the lot to look at and they were close to what I was looking for but not quite there. They said that they could order one for me and it would take 4 to 5 weeks to build. They have about a dozen colors to choose from at no extra charge. I would highly recommend having them install the windows. They charged me $100 each to install 15"x30" windows. I looked at the same window in Ebay and it was $75 plus shipping. I don't have any welding equipment or skill, and even if I did it wouldn't be cost effective. I have the interior plywood off while I'm installing insulation and wiring and it looks like they did a good job of framing it in. I priced out what I wanted while I was there, but did not purchase it then. I did a little more research and called them back a week later and placed the order over the phone. It took a 30% deposit which I also did over the phone with a credit card. It was ready about 5 weeks later. Their website is http://www.380trailers.com/. Here's the manufacturer's website, http://www.continentalcargotrailer.com/default.asp?page=models&unit=tailwind&choice=home. This is the page for the Tradewind model which is what I bought. I'm pretty sure mine was made at a plant in Waco.
Here is a picture of the window framing;



Thanks for looking,
