Have been looking on line at these dog trailers.

Is anybody familiar with them, and have any opinion?
I am looking for a trailer that is not going to break the bank and these look like they might fit the bill.

These guys make a nice product light and durable. I've had three of their boxes in different configs. Good guys to deal with also

Went and looked at trailers in Cresco, Iowa yesterday.
Manufacturer is Alum-Line.
I was very impressed with the quality of their trailers.
Placed my order for a 4 hole trailer, and the price was great.
Should have the trailer by the end of November.

My brother got this used Jones trailer. We are very happy with it.

It pulls very nice. We picked it up in Iowa and brought it back to OKC.

i just bought a used one from a freind of mine. it isnt as pretty as the ones you guys are loking at, but it will more than do the job for me and the price was fantastic. Plus, all i have to do is undo 4 bolts, lift the box off, and i have a small utility trailer. boy i sure like that used Jones trailer, though. it is sharp.

Schultz the price on those boxes does not seem bad, that material is very durable and extremely light but I would not recommend it for extreme cold weather as it is thin and cold.
I based it on the three dog box with top storage at $543 that weighed 102 lbs. and was 48" wide, that would be very nice!

The previous owner added that plastic corrugated insulation inside each box. It keeps the inside of the trailer right around 78 degrees running down the highway during the summer months. It also has a 12 gallon water tank in it. My brother got it for about half of what a new one would cost.

Not sure what trailer that you are referring to, but the trailer we ordered is insulated diamond plate.

As far as I know all of the metal boxes are insulated.

Those look like good trailers, just a little expenseive for my taste. of course, most all dog trailers are expensive. I am looking into building my own.

don't waste your money on the d-lux box. A dog that is unruly in the box will tear it apart in no time. The first training session I went to with it a dog ripped the door inserts out. The dogs will also find ways to tear the allum. of the sides making it a dangerous situation. I will be buying a stainless trailer as soon as the money is available. I paid to have a water tank put in, it came with a tank in it and no attachments making it of no use. THey ended up sending me a spicket and I had to do all the work to get it use able. I also had 2 fans put in, they didn't connect them to a power source, so I basically just have 2 fans in there until I figure out a way to connect it to a power source. I wasn't impressed.

Also when I received the box it had large dents and scuffs on it, I sent pictures to the owner and never received any comment on how to fix the problem. Maybe I was the only one that has had problems with them
