Trails West Hotshot Stock Trailers

[PureCountry]

I came across these lately. Seem pretty reasonably priced compared to aluminums of the same size. Anybody have any experience or opinions on them? They're light weight but they claim stronger than aluminum.

Hope they have mastered getting paint to stick on the galveneal. Also I see no neck channel in the picture and the uprights look to be 24" on center. I can lighten up the weight it's easy skimp on material.

We had a 93 Trails West, 3 horse. Was an awesome pulling trailer, but couldn't keep paint or the sealer around the tack room in. Went to the factory once, and then we repainted it right before we sold it. I would be somewhat cautious about it.

I've got Hotshot that is a couple of years old. I think that is probably as good as any. The paint seems to hold well on the galvaneal except for rock chips. I'm not so fussy about how it sticks on the rest of it. The corrugated sides give it quite a bit of strength I believe. We use it about four or five days a week on mostly gravel and dirt roads and so far so good. When we bought it, we thought it was the best we had seen and still think so. There might well be better ones out there though. Anyway those are my thoughts.
