I believe this video is a couple years old already so I'm assuming the all ice Castles are using these right now.

I think you are right BOF.... haven’t seen anything but GS trailers under the new castles. CW went under, wonder about Berkon? Would be cool to see someone come up with a retrofit.....

Must not have been very good operators if they had all the IC trailer business and still went under. IC probably bought them at too small of a margin. Were they decent trailers or more marginal IC dump?

I believe that Ice Castle still uses Berkon frames but it seems to only be on the very large house(25'+).  They make a nice looking frame.

CW were a good trailer... that is what is under the house that I built. I think that that they tooled-up expecting a larger piece of the pie though, and couldn't survive without the contract.  CW came in after the 2010-ish time frame when all of the frames were having axle pivot issues.
