Enclosed Trailer

[Roush #1]

My 16' all aluminum Serpent Express weighs 3825# with my Lonestar 427 LS inside with a full tank (18 gal.) of gas. The trailer weighs just a bit over 1200# empty.

I can add 200 pounds of tools, jack stands, jacks, etc. inside and can definitely tell a difference in how it tows behind my 5.3 V8 Suburban.

The trailer is new and I have only towed it about 600 miles so far and I may be able to adjust the weight some inside to make it tow better with the added weight, but all in all, the SE tows better, loaded or empty, than any trailer I have ever owned - and I have had 2 enclosed and 2 open trailers all used to tow race cars weighing from 1500 to 3500 pounds.

It is hard to explain, and even harder to understand, but there is a big - very big difference - in trailers. If at all possible I would highly recommend you try to borrow an SE before you buy - they will sell themselves.

In an earlier reply, MadMaxx recommended an Serpent Express trailer. He does not own an SE but used mine to town his new SPF from Cincinatti to Houston. I think his experience with that trip is explained by his recommendation.

I wish I had owned an SE 25 years ago.
