Lark enclosed trailers?
 
Anyone own a Lark enclosed trailer and can comment on the quality?

http://www.racingjunk.com/New-Traile...t-to-32ft.html

We sold our open trailer and plan to buy a new one withone the next month or so. Car is only 14' long and 3,000 lbs. but our plan is to order a 22' with the V-nose, heavier axles, radial tires, and LED exterior lights. We will finish the inside to our liking and needs over time. From all that I've investigated they look good and the price is extremely competitive.

Any current owners with advice?

Not familiar with that brand but in general look for:
Dexter Torflex axles, 5000 lb
10,000 GVW as some states require CDL etc. at 10,001 lb.
2x6 box tubing frame, not C channel
square nose is preferred over V nose for wind resistance and stability, according to many on yellow bullet
(fwiw, I got a Wells Cargo)

Bigger is better........ 22' will run out of room way too soon. I would not go smaller than a 24' and that is on the small side..... Good luck with your purchase.

Even if you don't need it I would go with a twenty-four foot for re-sale value. I could be wrong but I think a twenty-two foot would have a much smaller market.

Scott,

340 Cuda is dead right on 22' vs 24' ? Talk to anyone that has owned a 22' Trailer & they will tell you they wish they got a 24' instead .. Be smart when buying a trailer , it's like buying a house ... Get as much Trailer as you can afford , don't buy something you won't be able to move later ... LOL

I still vote for the ATC Raven, economy priced all aluminum trailer...24 foot Ravens are priced ~10K and won't depreciate (re: deteriorate) like a steel trailer. They also have a steel framed Raven for even less if you're watching pennies.
