New Manning Trailer arrived...PICS
New trailer arrived today. I was very pleased with the general quality. there were 2 bunks that were off about 3/8 of an inch and Ron left me some shims to fix them. Personally felt he should have been prepared with tools to do that on site, but not a big deal to do myself. i picked out the paint color as a "gun metal grey" off an iron chart online and it is a little lighter than what I expected but still works fine. I didn't want to do the standard black trailer just to have something a little different. I also added a drive guard, steps on the front, an automatic jack, and tool box. I had surge brakes on my previous trailer and these Kodiak brakes are a night and day difference from what I had before. I can tell that this trailer is also heavier than the aluminum one I had but no real down side there. I didn't have any big issues working with Manning Marine other than learning their communication. I would email them and not hear back for days so I suggest calling them if you need something. Trailer was completed in about 4-5 weeks and found no hidden cost.

Beautiful trailer. I like the drive guard. Smart choice. I just added one to my trailer. If looseconnection (I read his post today, he had someone back into his drives) had one he wouldn't be in a world of hurt right now. There's just to much money hanging back there not to have one. Happy trailering!!!

My boat mechanically only broke down on one trip in 3 years.... I blew at least 1 tire on 9 out of 10 trips the past 2 years until I had replaced every hub, tire, brake, etc and found out the real issue was someone put an under rated trailer under it. I feel blessed to have a solid means of transport.
