I just traded my 2020 Fast Cargo 8.5 X 24 enclosed trailer in on a 2023 Covered Wagon 8.5 X 24. The Fast Cargo trailer was pretty cheaply made and after 3 seasons of use I could see that issues were about to raise their ugly heads. Good news is I got more for it in trade than what I paid for it in April 2020. Got the new Covered Wagon from the same dealer ( This is actually the 4th trailer I've bought from them). The Covered Wagon has an extended tongue, polycore siding, escape door, 5K axles, 16" wheels and the tongue and frame are painted with rugged bed liner paint. Came with 2 fairly bright LED strip lights in the overhead, but they are turned on by a door controlled switch, in other words you have to open the front side door to turn on the lights, much like the switch that opens and closes the entry steps on a motorhome. I'm not wild about that set up so I'm going to change it to a regular on/off switch, and also add some additional LED strip lights to the interior. Interior is unfinished which is what I wanted as I like to finish them myself. New trailer tows a lot smoother with far less vibration than what I got with the cheap Fast Cargo trailer. New trailer was $12,999 but with the $6K trade allowance bottom line was $7K. The Covered Wagon seems to be a much better quality trailer but I still need to see how it tows and holds up when loaded.
