[Mr. Twister]

Anybody know how much a swing tounge for a Karavan trailer would cost? Any recomnedations on where to get one installed?

Thanks

I could be a little off - but I think its around 300 to 350. I was thinking of getting one on mine as well. Right now it fits in the garage but I have to push it way over to the side. i think with the swing tongie I can get it to back straight in which would be nice. I think any of the marinas will put them on - or I might also check out Crystal Welding just off 169 and 81.

Years ago I bought a used boat on a trailer that I had converted to a swing tongue trailer. I took it to a dealer who carried that brand of trailer and had the work done there, they ordered factory parts and it turned out great.

a friend of mine installed a fulton swing tongue on his boat. they bolt right on. with the designs of some of the trailers it might weaken it, like if it already has a short tongue.

a welding shop could install it for sure, and may be cheaper than going to a dealer.

If you are a DIYer, the Fulton swing tongues work pretty well. I put one on my trailer for my 16' aluminum boat. Larger, more expensive rig... I'd probably hire the job out.

I to would suggest Crystal Welding they are about 7 miles west of 169 on hwy 81 or 2.5 miles east of 101 Rogers area

I have a 19' glass boat and put the Fulton kit on myself. Works great if you don't have surge brakes.

The Fulton runs anywhere from $60 to $300 depending on the size of your trailer. I've seen some installed on trailers and they look pretty good to me.

Excellent point... it's a little more involved than just bolting something on.
