[1lessdog]

Does anyone know the name of the person that builds frame/trailers out of Perham MN?

 

Or anyplace else?

 

Im looking or a 6.5 x 14 trailer/frame

I had a Miltona about 10 yrs ago and both axles bent out. Wearing the inside of the tires out in less than 2000 miles

The frame was 6.5x14 with 3 ft V. I had a wall at the end V and a counter top with a cooktop/oven and nothing else in the house. Outside walls were tin like on a enclosed trailer and 2x2 walls. Inside was knotty pine. So not a lot of weight.

Saw your last post (sorry... don't spend a whole lot of time in here during the off season). Where did you end up getting a frame from?

I had Daryl Woodard out of Perham build me a 6.5 x 14 with 3 ft V. Im going to use as a utility to haul ATV's around and put  catch covers in it for early ice. A 6.5 x 12 pop up Eskimo will be my shelter for ice fishing and camping.

Miltona a makes better frame for a couple hundred more. The old guy was VERY up front about the differences. Mine is the better one and 8 years old now w/ zero problems. Do they make the bushing ones yet instead of the old 2 pipe pivots yet? If not look into the bushing kind (J&S?). A lot less rust cleaning out every couple years.
