skidooboy Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 you get what you pay for, research, research, research. make sure your dealer is easy to deal with. warrantee and service is EVERYTHING! buy larger than you think, buy the options YOU WANT AND NEED, upfront. Â things to look for, axles, (quality and rating), flooring (waterproof or not), roof (one piece= fewer leak issues), weather seals, exterior panels, thickness, and attaching methods, structure, studs on center by what length? frame welds, wiring, lighting ect.... Â good luck. Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledguy74 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 My experience with Triton has been worth the hype. Fantastic trailers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbill Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Funny how the quality of the welds and wiring is often indicative of quality not always but any poorness in these areas is definitely a clue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techdenis007 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Don't buy one from the place that OntarioF7 got his ... they only have one battery for their drill/driver ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soupkids Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I got a versamax/flo (used) fantastic trailer, both front and back open with a ramp to drive on drive off. Â They are pricy but I would buy another one that's for sure. Â http://www.floeintl.com/aluminum-trailers/enclosed-trailers/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Go to the fall snowmobile show and actually crawl under a few. You'd be surprised how visible 'cost savings' in the production process can be  (size of bars, quality of welds, number of rivets, whether the wiring is protected).  Some good prices at the show.  I never thought I'd use the side gas doors, but northern pumps have longer hoses and they've proven useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunz Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 He was really nice to deal with. Did the deal over the phone and he promised if there was a better deal at the Snowmobile show he would refund us the difference which I thought was very fair. Looking forward to meeting them in a couple of weeks. quote name="hi-mileage" post="192323" timestamp="1438901440"] Scott's a good guy,very trustworthy!!

Viperules700 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Reinhart is the guy to go to for triton. Great choice nunz. Where is a good spot to go to deck out the trailer. I would like to put some helmet racks in, fuel racks that hold Jerry cans and area for tools. All off the floor so I am not tripping over stuff this winter.

SuperG Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Yes sounds like a decent deal you got and decent service. Just try to get that in writing that he'll refund you the difference if you get a better deal at the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But pricey. Not sure why you want to store helmets in the trailer, but I could definitly see a nice rack for jerry cans and a few tools. I just keep a milk crate with random stuff I need in the back. Between sleds.And nunz... One must have for your 118 or any trailer with a ramp door is hard bristled brush and or a ice scraper. Need to clean out crevasse in between the door and trailer. Ice falls in there and it won't close all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
