Enclosed Trailer Question
I am about to order a new enclosed trailer and I've found two that I really like and are both within $500 of each other!
One is Pace American Pursuit, 24' x 8.5' with 10,000lbs GVWR and looks like this.
The other is Haulmark Race Trailer, 24' x 8.5' with 10,000lbs GVWR.
Can someone please advise if they know which one would make better use of my money. They appear very similar but could there be a better one for the same money?
Thanks so much if you can help me!

I have a 24FT PACE SHADOW that I bought used. I like it and it does everything I expect it to do. The Haulmark is also a high quality product. I think you would be happy with eather.

If you are going to put a door-car in there, and are dealing with competing salesmen/dealers, you might consider letting them 'competitively-bid' on putting a large man-door into the driver's-side of the trailer, making it easier to enter/exit the car once inside:
might-as-well make it worth-it!

I plan on adding a 5000 or 6000 lb winch so I'm not a fan of the left side escape door. The Pace dealer in 180km closer to me and like I said the sales person has been great to deal with. The Haulmark looks as good and I like the white plastic interior but the sales god/ sales-man has been nothing great. Imagine telling me I better hurry and decide because there is only one white Haulmark left in Haulmarks inventory. I'm mean who ya gonna close with a line like that. I figured Haulmark was going out of business after he said that.
My reply was, "so they're not building anymore"?
Thats when I said I might try the Pace dealer. Think I might be buying the Pace by 10am tomorrow.

The left side door is good for ventilation when sitting between rounds.

If I am not mistaken both of those trailers use playwood walls and floors (even if tehy have teh plastic walls/aluminum floor over the) its part of the structural design. I'm not a huge fan of that. I have an Exiss and love it. ITs probably a little more money but well worth it.

I'd highly recommend the Pace. I've had both a Haulmark and a Pace and have been much more satisfied with the Pace. It has been several years since I had the Haulmark. I bought the Pace last March and the quality of it was and continues to be outstanding. I would recommend that you get the trailer that has the options you want, don't buy less or you'll be unhappy.
Get the Pace!

I convinced that I'm goin with the Pace. I've already got my 5000 watts generator, and I'll be adding a winch right away. I plan to add some cabinets over next winter. It'll be so great to be out of the sun when I need to. Thanks for the advice.
