Hey guys looking at getting a superlite 5'er in the near future seems like they have come down in price enough for the regular folks. I just want to know if anybody has ever owned or has any experience good or bad with the WW SL3005?? It would fit my needs well and still would be under my trucks GCVWR. I am hesitant to get a bigger trailer at the moment mainly because I dont want to upgrade trucks for another few years ( and when I do it will be the LAST time so it will probably be a F450 ) My trucks Gross Combined is 18,500 ( 1996 CC LB F350 7.3 ) so I need to be at that or under with a rhino and dirt bikes and full camping gear and supplies for a week. What do you guys think?? Are there any other brands out there that you recommend? Thanks a lot everyone. ko
EDIT* I will be towing with this http://www.glamisdunes.com/invision/index....163558&st=0

I have had my SL3005 for almost 5 years now. I have had and still have problems with the axels, both have been replaced because of outer tire wear and they still do. They were never able to fix the problem. Other then that it is a great trailer, well other then it has been broken into 5 times, damn theives!!!! I pull with a F-250 PSD and avg about 9.5 mpg on flat ground to Glamis and about 8.5 pulling hills to northern arizona.

They are Dexter axles, They are only like $90.00 a piece, and you can go to the 5200 lbs tube and still keep the same backing plate. Quick fix.
