Tony E wrote:Hi Spector, Can I ask what your total price was on that dual axle aluminum trailer that you purchased out of Calgary? I already bent my original axle and had to get it straightened out which was a few bucks so I either have to put another axle on my trailer that I have now or purchase anew aluminum dual axle trailer. Thanx

Re: Dual axle aluminum trailer
It was $1100 (including freight and tax) from Standens in Calgary. That's for the braking axle. I went with dual brakes as it's the requirement in BC

Re: Dual axle aluminum trailer
Lots of one-axle Mac trailers in BC - two on our short street and there was one on street above us. I haven't heard of that requirement and out of curiosity, I'll followup on it.

Re: Dual axle aluminum trailer
Single axle trailers are fine but if its dual it has to have brakes on all axles
http://www.rvda.ca/ProvBrakeReqts.asp
British Columbia
Trailer Brake Requirements
Gross trailer weight of 1,400 kg (3,080 Ibs) or less – Brakes are required if the trailer and its load weigh more than 50% of the licensed weight of the vehicle towing it.
Gross trailer weight of 1,401 kg (3,081 Ibs) to 2,800 kg (6,160 Ibs) – Brakes are required, including a breakaway brake.
Gross trailer weight of more than 2,800 kg (6,160 Ibs) – Brakes are required, and the trailer brakes must be capable of being applied by the driver independently of the towing vehicle's brakes. A surge brake does NOT meet this requirement. A breakaway brake is also required.
Brakes are required on all axles.
The sole exemption to this rule is for a 3 axle house trailer, in which case brakes are only required on 2 of the 3 axles.
