DEALER MEETING 2013
The new models and enhancements for this year are all
about one thing — making the best trailers better. For our
40th anniversary, we’ve introduced features that enhance
the performance of all our trailers, and new options that
improve versatility and convenience.
We’ve also included a new
section this year — Custom
Options. This is a sample
of the almost endless list of
alterations and additions
we can make to our trailers,
from inspired design choices
to built-in tools and power
equipment. In addition,
we’ve also included some
Showcase Trailers. These
are some of the most eyecatching models we have at
the Dealer Meeting.
You may have also noticed that
this book has a pull-out section.
This section contains information
about new Prototypes we have
created. We want your opinions
on these potential changes to our
product line, and your feedback
will influence whether we
implement these changes or not.
As an added bonus, when you turn
in your feedback sheet, you’ll be
entered into a competition to get
a free iPad!
We’re confident the features
and options displayed at
this year’s Dealer Meeting
will lead you down the road
to more customers, greater
market share and more sales.
Turn in your feedback sheet, and you’ll be entered to win a free iPad!

can be used to haul cars, recreational “toys,” construction
equipment and anything else from antiques to
furniture. Customize the Model 1641 with such options
as an aluminum floor, treadplate ramp, increased height
and more. It’s available in lengths of 16’, 18’, 20’, 24’ or 28’
