This is about two hours from me, and I'm thinking pretty seriously about getting it. Anybody know about what new brakes will cost on a triple axle trailer? I'd been hoping for a dual tandem trailer, but this seems pretty cheap...

It's got mobile home axles, which I never find appealing... But the price is nice. Will a 25' trailer really do what you need? 2 vehicles is a really tight squeeze on a trailer that short.

I'm wanting a 30' gooseneck for my next trailer. As of a month ago, I could get a 30' lowboy carhauler trailer, wood deck (steel deck ~$1,000 extra), with a pair of single wheel 7K axles and brakes on both, new E rated radial tailer tires on 8 lug wheels (plus a spare), removable ramps (that can be left fixed in place) and a single foot jack, all for ~$5,000, brand new. 4 week lead time.

The price was good... but mobile home axles? I'd look elsewhere, personally.
