CamSuperline Trailer reviews

[GreatWhitehunter]

I've come across a very good price for a 20' full power tilt gooseneck trailer. It's only two years old and in real good condition. I've be real partial to my PJ's and have looked hard at the Brimar units. I did a search here and found limited reviews. I'm hoping that someone has more recent experiances. The trailer is a lowboy so I'm a bit concerned about ground clearance. Otherwise it's exactly what I'm looking for.

I have never owned one but heard good things about Cam.

I looks very well made, there was one review here that wasn't positive but it seems like a well made trailer.

I can't speak for the 20' trailer, but I have a Cam 6 x 10 dual axle dump trailer, and I have been very pleased with it. I've had it for about 5 years now and I have worked the heck out of it. I put wood extension sides on, and can haul between 7 and 8 yds. of mulch no problem. I've also hauled over 3 ton of stone (a bit overload for the trailer), and it handles and dumps no problem. I give them an A+.

Thanks West, anyone using there equipment trailers? I'm interested to hear about any ground clearance issues.

One thing to consider is what size iron did they use in the construction of the trailer.

This is basically the same trailer only with a GN and power tilt: CAM Superline Inc

The bed length is 20' so there's some re-enforcement on the tail. The owner added a slick little solar trickle charger for the battery. I'm really torn on the GN part though. I sold my PJ GN last year and bought a new truck shortly there after. I didn't add a GN hitch since I was planning on going bp on the next flatbed. If I had never towed a GN trailer it would be an easy choice, but with the ride and capacity gains it's hard to forget the GN's benefits. I'd go with a B&W turnover ball if I decide to buy this unit. Still on the fence though, I was hoping to get abunch of reviews to sway my decision.:confused2:

Our local trailer dealer switched over to Cam from Brimar. I was not impressed, I thought the Brimars looked better built, especially the fit and finish.

But these are dump trailers and was over five years ago so alot could of changed since then.

I've looked hard at new brimars but haven't found the lengths I need stocked. None of the dealers seemed real interested in finding one either. This Cam trailer is an awful lot of trailer for the money though. I had looked a Cam a few years back (standard equipment hauler) and it was nice but over priced. It does seem that trailer up here(all brands) are quite abit higher than elsewhere in the country. The trailer retails for about 7, it does have about 10k miles on it. I may use it 1k a year and I think I could pick it up for about 3k. With powered hydralic tilt several ratchet straps and tons of d rings and a spare rim. The deck wood is in need of stain but that's all it needs. I was suprized to find it has dual hydralic cyclinders for the tilt function.

Well the deal on this trailer didn't work out, the seller got kind of flakey on me when I offered $250 less than he was asking. I kind of thought it was abit amusing since that's the name of the game. But I've found several used Bri Mar's used within 200 miles. Granted they don't have all the bells an whistle but it is a trailer after all. It seemed that there were lots of happy Bri Mar owners out there and not many cam owners. I guess I have to compromise and go with an 18' version but they seem to come in 10k and 12k configurations. I'm leaning more towards the 12k since I know as soon as I buy the 10k I'll need a little more capacity. So the hunt continues. Any downsides to the Bri Mar?
