Looking for a trailer source in Canada?

Postby wridley » Sat Aug 30, 2008 11:18 pm

Prices seem to be extremely high here compared to the States and I was wondering where people are buying them in Canada and for what price. The best I have seen for a 4 x 8 is about $1000.

The common source of utility trailers to retailers here seems to be Snowbear, and you can find their products at Costco and Canadian Tire. They look better made than some of the stuff described in this forum; however, they certainly do seem to be more expensive, and usually they are only offered as landscape trailers or other configurations with parts which are superfluous to the teardrop builder.

You're in a province full of welders and fabricators, and seems like it's impossible to drive more than a few minutes down Highway 2 without seeing another business selling trailers, and some of them make their own. Here in Alberta, I think the best source may be a custom-builder; you can get exactly what you want, and not pay for extra stuff like tailgates which come with the readily available mass-production units.
