Don, I may be mis-reading your previous posts but just to clarify that if you buy a new trailer from Bushtec it does NOT include the hitch/isolator, etc. Those items are accessories which you purchase separately.
Jerry, I was only going by what the Bushtec rep told me on the phone. I asked specifically if the "trailer package" included a hitch and harness. The guy said yes. Never considered the question again after that.
The guy very likely misspoke though. I just looked at their price and spec's sheet and it lists the hitches separately and doesn't include them in a listing of what's supplied with a trailer.
In a way that sucks as I was figuring that money in the cost/value of that white one I turned down for $1800. Had I realized that the hitch/harness cost was above the trailer cost that would have seemed a much better deal. In fact I'd very likely have jumped on it.
This black trailer I'm chasing now has a lot more bells and whistles already on it though. And a few less miles. Relative to its original cost it's actually a better deal than the white one and a couple years newer. So by screwing up on the white one I might have lucked in to a better overall package.
