Reasons to Choose American Made Cargo Trailers

One of the things we're most proud of at The Trailer Showroom, other than producing high-quality cargo trailers, is fostering an American industry and manufacturing our products right here in the USA.

Our cargo trailers are manufactured in one of our five American facilities: Elkhart, Indiana; Waco, Texas; McGregor, Texas; Eugene, Oregon and Douglas, Georgia. When you order one of our cargo trailers, you're helping support an American, veteran-owned business and helping create the need for manufacturing jobs in our country.

Here are just a few more reasons to consider American-made when it comes to choosing a cargo trailer company:

What's the Difference Between Gooseneck and Bumper Trailers?

A bumper trailer

A gooseneck trailer

Gooseneck and bumper trailers often have a lot of similarities; however, they are essentially two different trailer models.

You may already be familiar with bumper trailers since they are commonly used for hauling. Anything from landscaping equipment to furniture to personal items can be hauled with a small, simple bumper trailer. Larger bumper trailers like 8.5x20 enclosed trailers can be used to haul bigger equipment, vehicles, or just about anything else.

The gooseneck can handle those things as well, but the way the trailer is pulled is slightly different, due to its unique hitch placement.

Trailer Check-up - Make Sure Your Trailer is Ready for Summer Travel

Whether you have a cargo, motorcycle, car, utility, horse, equipment, or restroom trailer, proper maintenance and upkeep is needed to ensure that it performs reliably year after year. At TrailerShowroom, we have a wide variety of trailers to meet your needs, and we want to help you protect your investment by providing you with a checklist of sorts keep your trailer on the road and out of the repair shop.

Brakes

The brakes are obviously a critical component, and you want to have them serviced on regular intervals. If you have a disc brake setup, the drums, shoes, and related hardware need to be looked at; the rotors need to be changed if they are damaged; and the pads should be replaced if excessively worn. If you have a drum and disc brake hydraulic setup, you need to look at the wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and brake lines to see if there are any fluid leaks. It's also important to check for any rust. If you have an electric brake setup, you need to check the wiring, magnets, electrical connectors, and battery. You should also ensure that the emergency battery is charged completely and properly mounted.

Bearings

The bearings are also very important, so you want to disassemble them, clean them out, inspect them for damage, and repack them with fresh grease. Failing to service the bearings at least once a year could cause them to implode without notice, which would potentially be disastrous.

Cruising Into Summer!

Recent data from the US Department of Transportation shows in the US there are around 8.5 million registered motorcycles. As any bike enthusiast will tell you, "Only a biker knows the feeling". In this great big country-from "sea to shining sea" seeing it from a bike is truly an unforgettable experience.

Warm Weather Towing Tips

Monday, June 20th will mark the first day of summer. Many of our customers have asked for tips regarding driving and towing their TrailerShowroom trailers in warmer weather. Before reviewing specific suggestions for towing a trailer, we cannot stress enough that your towing vehicle must be in tip-top shape first!

We recommend having your main vehicle professionally serviced before beginning any long haul towing trip-regardless of the weather. Ask your mechanic to pay special attention to the vehicle's fluids and coolants. Finally, check your emergency kit and onboard tools to ensure that if an issue does occur, you'll be prepared.

Making a decision about a big-ticket purchase can be a tough proposition for a lot of folks. For any prospective customers considering a product from TrailerShowroom, we encourage them to honestly evaluate their needs and motivation for owning a trailer in the first place.

Featured Product - Concession Trailer

It is no secret that the food truck business is booming. Of course, like lots of endeavors, getting started is often the biggest challenge. The laws and sanitation requirements for mobile businesses that sell food to the public vary greatly from state to state. For example, in some areas, any food-related business serving from a truck or trailer must be affiliated with a brick and mortar restaurant. For our purposes, we will leave those details to you. Instead, we’d like for you to consider why a concession trailer from TrailerShowroom would be right for you!

Winter Weather Driving Tips

Driving in hazardous conditions that many parts of the country experience during the winter months is especially challenging. With the possibility of rain, freezing rain, wind, fog, ice, snow or even worse, combinations of those elements, drivers, especially those towing utility trailers-must be prepared for anything!

Please review the following scenarios and their solutions:

• Limited or reduced visibility: When it is possible pull off the road to a safe place, well off the shoulder and stop. Turn on your hazard lights to remain visible.
  
• Limited or reduced traction: Slow down and make all movements gentle ones - never drive faster than conditions allow.
  
• Need to brake on slick road: Brake gently to avoid skidding. Should you begin to skid, take your foot off the gas and shift to neutral, quickly. Next, steer in the direction you want your car to go. Before the rear wheels stop skidding, shift to drive and gently press the accelerator and never aggressively slam on the brakes.
