Anybody ever hear of Covered Wagon Trailers? I'm looking at a 8.5x28 car hauler. It's looks nice but since I've never heard of them I'm wondering if they are any good.

 

In addition to feedback here, find a website that they can not alter or delete comments. (Hint, not their Google reviews page or FB page).

 

Here are their specs on their enclosed trailers

 

Thanks, I put a deposit on one & am going down to check it out next week. I found a couple YouTube videos that were mostly positive. I also found some very negative comments, on a few posts, on random forums. Most of those comments, were fake, since things they complained about don't exist in the build of these trailers. On another forum I asked the person if he could send me pictures of his trailer & his issues, now he's now gone dark. I'm looking at a 28' with a blackout package that has 14K Lippert Spread Axle Configuration.

 

One thing that looks good is the 1/4” X 6” tubing for the frame in the longer trailers. If that is one piece, not welded in the center over the axles, it should be a good trailer. I have seen broken frames in the situation I described. IDK if it was just a poor weld, or if it was due to excessive speed on the wonderful roads down in the Baja peninsula!! Or a combination of all of the above.
I had a 38’ enclosed gooseneck with triple torsion axles that the frame was one piece 3/16 X 8 and had no trouble with that.
Good luck.

 

Thanks for the info on the frame. I will check that out when I look at it.

 

I've seen a few around my area on the highway. Nothing has ever looked out of sorts on them. I only remember them because of the interesting name. I hadn't looked any further into them than that.

One guideline that I have with trailer manufacturers is: Do they have their own domain name on the Internet therefore their own domain name for email etc.? If so, they're probably a little bit serious and professional. If not, it's more of a crap shoot.

ibuildthebesttrailers@gmail.com can easily disappear, while sales@ibuildthebesttrailers.com has put some more effort in, like Covered Wagon appears to have done.

 

I ended up getting it. The frame was one long piece & painted with with paint that is supposed to resist chipping and rust. The tongue was powder-coated as well as the coupler. All the plywood is treated to repel water & resist rot. The roof is 1 piece aluminum. The split axel tows nice. There were a lot of strong cross winds on the way home & the trailer tracked nice behind the truck. Looking forward to hauling the car & golf cart down to Florida in this thing. Thanks for the tips on what to look for,

 

Nice looking “Wagon”. Congrats! Hope you get many miles out of it!

 

Wow that's a nice one!
