Perry,
The Orlandi trailer I bought is a "knock off" of a
"Texas Roll Back" if you can all an unpatented or uncopyrighted design a
"knock off". Its about the same length as Don's, 23'. It tows great behind
my Durango (7600# tow capacity) with a 3100# Corvette on it. It has 4 wheel
electric brakes that are a pain in the A-s. You can never get the controller
set right. If you get it set right for one speed its wrong for another. Don
Campbell has the same problem with his trailer brakes.
The trailer Josh describes may work well for a small car with a
short wheel
base and a non in/out clutch but it wouldn't work for my Corvette. I'd stall
it a hundred times or put it in my Durangos trunk trying to load it. a 7#
flywheel and an in/out clutch doesn't leave you much leeway. FWIW.

You say "style". Does that mean a knockoff or the real thing for 4000.
Mine was about 4300 base price but with options and TTL it went out the door
at 5300 bones or so. Very very well built and tows like a dream.
In fact for all interested I have a new, in the box, $490 levelizer tow
hitch/apparatus or whatever it is called. It doesn't work with the Tx Roll
Back cause it needs to fit where the bed detaches from the tongue and also
the trailer is so darned well balanced it tows like it isn't behind you, so
the hitch is surplus.
If you are tired of your trailer bouncing around email and it can be yours.
Perry
