Looking to buy a new or slightly used 40-48' gooseneck enclosed trailer. Obviously Gold Rush, T&E ,Intech and some others are the benchmark but all I want is a nicely built solid trailer that will last me 10-15 yrs. My current 2001 Pace has held up great and remarkably, my 2015 Haulmark has been great as well. I've been looking at living quarter trailers but I'm not happy with what I see or the pricing is nut's so I'm considering building one myself.
Any dealers preferably on the eastern side of the US that may stock something I may be interested in ?? I'm not looking for something cheap, and willing to spend realistic money I just want what I want.

What brands should I avoid ??

I have bought three trailers from Lance Brannon [L B Trailer sales]. All three were Vintage brand, all three custom-built per my needs, all performed and were equipped as expected.

I have had goosenecks for 25 years and love them.

Current trailer is a 42' 2015 United. It's ok - better quality than my Vintaage goose, but not what it should be. I kind of think it's hit or miss on quality of anything other than the big 3 you mentioned above.

My Son has an InTech and it has lots of nice features but it's only a few years old so it'll be while to determine true durability.

I did look around for a long time looking for a used Gold Rush and couldn't quite find a match. In terms of pricing, longer goose Gold Rush units were way more reasonable than the worth-it's-weight-in-gold 26' tag. If I was going to do it again, I'd get a used Gold Rush and get it painted or whatever needed to meet my needs.

Don’t buy nothing with CARGO in the name…

Thanks Larry, Vintage was my first choice, figured it was comparable to my Pace quality. Currently a YEAR AND A HALF wait for a custom build is simply ridiculous, and no guarantee on pricing !!!

Thanks Greg, that's kinda what I was looking for, a comparison. It's hard to believe with all the trailer builders out there only a half dozen build good trailers LOL

Anything Cargo out of the picture

Goldrush

One that should be on list of I think are good trailers is Gold Rush. Seem to be a trailer company that's been around for a long time.

No doubt one of the best, I don't need the best

An 8' bed works best imo.
