5.0 out of 5 stars Me and my Motorcycle Love it, October 29, 2008

This trailer is very easy to assemble, and the directions are clear and concise. I use it to tow behind my motorcycle. I put a rubbermade 48 Gallon box on it and this is an ideal trailer for the wife and I to pack up and go camping for the weekend. It pulls perfectly with no sway left or right. It is lightweight, yet does not bounce too much when hitting bumps. I am very pleased with this trailer and would recommend it to anyone. I did cut 12 inches off the width so mine is now 28 inches wide which is better for pulling behind a Sportster.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Trailer - Hard to get a tag for it in Pennsylvania, May 10, 2011

This review is from: - Northern Industrial Utility Trailer - 40in. x 48in. (Misc.)

I purchased this trailer and assembled it.

It is easy to put together and great quality.

Comment for Amazon: The description of this product originally stated free shipping but the shipping was not free and the seller worked with Amazon to correct the issue with the product description but I still had to pay the shipping fee.

Once the trailer is assembled you will find that in order to use it, depending on your state, you may need to spend a significant amount of time and money in addition to the cost of a trailer to put it on the road.

I live in Pennsylvania and this is what I discovered:

* All kit trailers in Pennsylvania must under go an enhanced inspection at a special service station. I called several stations and this costs between $120 - $240+ and some of the inspection stations have long waiting lists. The cost according to one mechanic was mostly due to the complexity and time it takes to fill out the paperwork.

* The inspection station is required to fill out a 6 page form, take pictures of the trailer and submit these to PENNDOT. The process is more geared to inspecting motor vehicles but somehow also applies to kit trailers.

* The inspection station informed me that the fenders were not up to par in Pennsylvania and that I would need to purchase mudflaps for the wheels or find another way to extend the fenders by 7 inches. I am unable to find a reference to tell me exactly how to know this ahead of time. This was not difficult but it did take extra time and I had to purtrchase and modify mudflaps for the trailer.

* I will had to pay another $90 in fees to get the plate, title and registration for it.

* It took about 60 days for a Pennsylvania State VIN plate and license plate to arrive.

My experience is that if you live in Pennsylvania, you need to consider whether or not you are willing to wait a few months to be able to use the trailer and if you are willing to pay more for shipping, inspections and regulatory fees than the trailer actually costs.

This kit has shown me that the materials and finish are first rate and the directions for assembly were clear making it a pleasure especlally with more than adequate and complete hardware. There is attention by the manufacturer to strength and reliability unlike other kits I have assembled before.
