Since they make such a great product that's great to hear! Maybe I just caught him on a bad week.  :oops:

That could be.  Everyone has them.  Well, except me of course.  I'm sweet and cuddly all the time; dammit.

I purchased a used Bushtec from a private party and needed a lot help and advice to restore it. The help from John at Bustec was nothing less than outstanding. I just cannot say enough about the quality of their products and service even if your not the original owner.  Doc

The best quality.

The best manufacturer.

Great pulling.

Great cargo space.

The most value.

There is only one  BushTec!

The question that comes to my mind is, why are you pulling an N-Line trailer?

They are 35 miles north of Knoxville - about 200 miles from Nashville.

Easy answer there Jeff.

Dollars.

Got a heck of a deal on the n-line.

And figured, why not.

I have a friend that tows a BushTec, and another friend that tows an Escapade.

Traveled long distances with both and i cant say that one is better than the other, both are first class products, the trailer owners would agree that there are pros and cons with both designs.

You may find a better looking trailer than a Bushtec, but I bought a Bushtec because of their unique suspension, narrow easy pulling tires, and their hidden motorcycle hitch.  With all the recommendations from fellow forum members, they didn't steer me wrong with a Bushtec.  They can cost as mush as a motorcycle hauling trailer, but what else is new regarding motorcyle accessory pricing.

Regarding a Bushtec, pay extra and get any wheel other than their stock wheel.  The wheels look ok new, but stain very easily and the stain/discoloration is there forever.

If you don't want to opt for the high end wheels they can power coat the stock wheels in several colors.  Look very nice and not expensive.

Powder coat is what I would do next time.    :2vrolijk_21:
