Finally got paint on mine. Here it is in primer. Now it needs stickers. I’ll turn Crew loose on that soon enough.

Been almost a year, thought I would follow up and add to this thread for somebody doing a search.

The first trip was to Norwalk Ohio for Super Summit in June of 2018, it pulled an stopped very well. I took it very easy for the first trip, getting used to how it handles and the ability to stop. The trip home I was very comfortable. Made a couple of trips to Youngstown Ohio and several short local pulls. The only negative thing for me was the truck sat lower than I liked in the rear. My truck always seemed a little low in the rear even unloaded. Prior to heading out to Arkansas for OCBR in September I added a set of Firestone airbags to the rear. I set the pressure at 50 psi and loaded it looked great. Little did I know before leaving but it helped the the seat of the pants feel of taking curves and stopping a lot. Its a 950ish mile trip one way and I usually leave on Monday, make a long day, stop for the night, and get to Hot Springs about noon on Tuesday. This time I left a few hours earlier to beat traffic leaving Akron Ohio and give myself extra time as I figured the trip would be slower......pffttt...by 5 pm I was already passed where I normally stop and decided to continue and made the trip all in one day.

Needless to say, very happy with my Kaufman trailer and highly recommend if somebody is looking. The Salesman that helped me is Jason Clinger. He checked in on me several times after purchase to make sure it was working out like I planned.

Here's a pic loaded after I added the airbags and the day before leaving for Arkansas.

Very nice set up! Kaufman is only about 3 hours north of me and we see A LOT of their trailers in this area. Everyone I know loves them. I'm going to be in the market of a new trailer soon, and the big 3 here are Kaufman, Big Tex, and P and J. The size trailer I'm in the market for is made in Mexico by P and J, but American made by the other two so that's an easy one to rule out.

What is the length deck on yours to fit two rigs?

26 ft.
That was a tough decision but glad I did. It's perfect for 2 Broncos with the axle placement and my truck. And it kept the weight of the trailer about as light as it could be. The 14K would have been a little less.
