This is an enclosed cargo trailer 26 feet. Is there something like NADA for trailers? Or does any racecarhauler know this brand? It is 3 years old with a V nose and I am considering trading for it and just try to get a fare deal.

Could you check on ebay and see if there are any for sale and what the bidding is like?

Nice brand, all aluminum.

Value dependent on year, shape, mileage, and options.

26' is a big and heavy trailer. I tow a 16' aluminum enclosed with my Barth (325HP) and I can state I would not want anything more than, say, 20' due to weight and clearance.

Trailers tend to be made regionally, so you see brands locally. There are a few well recognized national brands like Featherlite or Wells Cargo, but Legend is a Michigan company, so I would expect their dealer network to be within a 1000 miles of there.

One more thing, I had a V nose before I had my current Horton Hauler which is a flat nose. I'll never own a V again. When a Tractor Trailer or bus gets up along side the V, you can really feel the "bow wake" of air wagging your tail sideways with the V. With the flat nose I feel nothing.

I also could feel crosswinds much more with the V, especially when towed behind my truck. The concept of the V nose is that it should be more efficient, but I believe that is almost all hype and perception based advertising. In a wind tunnel I don't think the V nose would show much improvement as it doesn't extend much above the truck and nothing above an RV. The V nose also gives you less room than a comparable flat nose.

Finally, if this 26 footer has 3 ft of tongue, anything more than a 31' RV would be over length in several states.

I realize I'm assuming you would tow with your Barth, a 1 ton truck would be a good match for this trailer.

I just checked Ebay and I'm in Mich. here is all I found and it is 29'... There are alot of hitches listed ubder "Legend" but not many trailers...

The trailer in the Ebay ad is specifically a snowmobile trailer. They are Drive Through, so the V nose is required. If you've ever tried to wrestle a sled back out of a trailer you would know why this is such a necessary feature.

Snowmobile trailers are usually full width to accommodate the newer and wider sleds (2 across). They are often lower ceiling height than a car trailer, different weight capacities and have different tie down structures. This one on EBay is as big as I've ever seen, so it may be built on a car hauler base, but smaller trailers can be a miss-match.

Notice the small doors on the side for fueling each sled.
