Need a new bunk trailer

[bradford]

It's a Ford vs Chevy debate. A lot comes down to owner maintainence. Something to watch for on aluminum is did the manufacturer place gaskets between the aluminum and any galvinized brackets. If not you should. The steel will rot out the aluminum when sitting at the ramp all day soaked in salt. Also full square tube steel is gonna rot out a lot faster than c channel. Also are the fasteners stainless? I'd rather by a used trailer with a good solid frame and spend a grand on it replacing everything than something thats brand new and shiny, but is gonna rot out in 5-6 years of use.

ps Be careful replacing bolts that are under heavy load such as axle u bolts with stainless. Something that needs to be torqued is a lot safer using galvinized bolts.
