I have not heard of Cargo Craft. Below is a link to a trailer, different brand but about the same size and appears to be in good shape. I mention it only so you can compare prices. I don't know if this is a good price, it may be older than the one you are looking at.

Well
I guess the guy did not want to sell the trailer very bad

He was to have me pictures by 10 am this morning and hear it is 10 till 3 pm and guess what

NO PICTURES

might be a blessing in disguise

think I will save some more and just order the trailer I'm wanting with everything I want. might be the best way in the long run

Gabe I am wanting a 81/2 by 24 I know the other trailer was just 8 but it would have worked but not much room left over

everyone have a good weekend it looks like we might get some rain finally

:cheers

IMO the escape door is important with our cars on an 8.5 trailer. Yes, I looked at Cargo Craft when I bought mine but weight was an issue(its heavy) If you order a new one see if they can move the escape door rearward some so it fits the car door opening. If the escape door is centered over the axles you can't open the door fully. ATC did a graphic design with a 61 one in it and determined the door had to be shifted to the rear. Another issue with a 24' trailer and our cars is the cargo rings. The rear ones need to be close to the rear ramp and the front ones need to be 6' +/- from the front wall. I think that would be the same with Cargo Mate as mine is aluminum so my balance point might be a slightly different.
I liked dealing with these folks for my ATC as a few other members have them also.
