If the price is to good to believe it is probably worth what you are paying for it.

I took 2 300 mile trips to Zippy Trailers in Southern California to get what I did not order. The first trailer had side rails and I did not order side rails as this is a side loading ATV trailer. The second trailer was to have a 6' X 8' 6" deck, just the right size to haul 2 ATVs.The length was important because I could leave the quads on the trailer and back it into my garage and still have room to get around. With this trailer I will still have to unload the quads and leave the trailer in the yard for my neighbors to look at.

 I only took the second trailer because I needed a trailer in 4 days haul 2 quads as my grandsons were coming to visit and I would have had a fight for my deposit. 

I ordered a 8' 6" long bed and got a 10' bed. I asked for a tongue long enough to put a storage box on and got one about 4 feet long and the coupler is 28 inches off the ground. I have a small Toyota truck not a jacked up monster truck. I am going to spend $200.00 next week to have the tongue rebuilt so I may install a cargo box and the coupler will be lowered 10 inches so it will be the right height to be towed behind my Ford F-250 or my Toyota pickup. At the same time the welder is going to grind off some of the welds and redo them as they look like they were done by a Freshman in High School metal shop.

I did not buy this through eBay but as they sell their trailers on eBay I thought I would give them a chance to custom build a trailer for me.

So my advice is to be careful how you select your trailer manufacturer. Do not be cheap, as I was, or you will probably get what you pay for and it will cost you much more in the long run.

Between the cost of the trailer, the cost of rebuilding the tongue and the time and fuel costs driving to Southern Cal. I could have had exactly what I wanted from a major trailer manufacturer just 45 miles from my home. Be careful of back yard operations.
