Single Axle Trailer
Does anyone know anything of Eagle Trailers, or have an opinion. It is for a 20', Bennington. I have a choice between an Ez Loader, or an Eagle. The Eagle has a higher GVW and surge brakes.The Ez Loader is just below the limit for requirement of brakes. One is a bolted frame the other is welded. Thank you.

Re: Single Axle Trailer
No nothing about Eagle but I just bought a new EzLoader and it is a very strong trailer. When you say bolted what do you mean?

Re: Single Axle Trailer
All joins on the trailer members are through bolted rather than welded to each piece. The yoke and hitch member are bolted on, and any additional cross members are also bolted.

I have a 20 foot bennington - it came with a road runner trailer. No brakes, all joints welded. I've don't have alot of experience with trailers, but I would think welds woud be strongest.yyj200 wrote:Does anyone know anything of Eagle Trailers, or have an opinion. It is for a 20', Bennington..

Re: Single Axle Trailer
for a new trailer, welds would be the way to go.
on an old trailer (many years old), at least bolts can just be tightened up, or replaced with new hardware. to check the welds really requires grinding the paint off of them and taking a good look. i know of two old boat trailers that had welds break because moisture had gotten under the paint and corroded the weld over the years.

Re: Single Axle Trailer
btw, if you come across a reasonably priced dual axle, go that route.
a blown tire doesn't mean you have to stop right there on that busy freeway.
they still only need brakes on one axle.

I also have a road runner trailer. It's has seen it's fair share of abuse and has never even hinted at a problem. It's welded too by the way.
