Trav-a-long trailers

Kansas4010 · Dec 1, 2017

There is a 2011 24 foot aluminum gooseneck Trav-a-long stock trailer coming up at an auction. I'm familiar with the name but have no personal experience with them. I'm looking for opinions on them. I want to upgrade from my 16 foot bumper hitch. My experience looking at used trailers is if they look decent they sell for new price. I would like to be prepared just in case it sells reasonable. It's not to far away and is supposed to be in excellent condition.

Be sure to check all welded joints for cracking.
Some welded aluminum trailer builders have had a hard time getting it done right.

Trav-a-longs are made in the same plant or maybe across the street from Titan. I think maybe Titan actually bought them a few years ago. Trailman was also made in the same area.
For me, a Travalong is a way better trailer then Titan, but I have no experience with their aluminium trailers. I know I don't like any of the Titans other then the Classic model.

Every time I see a aluminum livestock trailer, in decent shape, at an auction it sells for about the same as a new one. I brought a new steel Corn Pro a few years ago but unless your a old guy like me I would spend the extra money for a aluminum one no matter what the brand.

My gooseneck, deck-over flatbed trailer is a Trav-A-Long. Bought it in 2001. It is holding up very well.
