  1. I would agree with Marty - mounting at floor level vertically on the front wall is a good solution and keeps the weight low and forward in the trailer. Easy to have the dealer add or you can do it yourself. The Intech has 16” studs in the wall, so there’s lots of places to attach them. For the leveling bars, you would need to have those done with the bars in hand so the person can add the plates in the proper spot. Still, if you’re just picking it up and towing it home without a car in it, your unloaded weight is probably around 3500 pounds. Not sure what you’re towing it with but it would probably make the trip fine without bars. You mentioned Charlotte - I’m in NC as well, if I can offer any more assistance let me know.
  2. Mark - you mentioned you were looking at Intech trailers. I have to say it's the best trailer I've ever owned. I had a 24 foot Vintage, then a 28 foot Pace for many years and towed them up and down the east coast. When it was time to get another, I wanted to go back to a 24 foot, so I did all the comparisons and settled on an Intech. Didn't want to wait months to have one built, so I purchased one from a dealer that was almost identical to what I would have ordered. Upgraded the sides from .030 to .040, full aluminum floor, huge escape door and no lower cabinets since I don't carry much in the trailer (full width upper cabinets are fine). It's thousands of pounds lighter than my steel trailer but it's solid as a rock. Another Intech owner told me "look at the welds and look at the caulk lines". They're perfect. You can tell the people who built it know what they're doing. Another plus - when I wanted to mount a spare tire inside I asked about where the strongest point would be and they said on the wide part of the framing at the rear -- then sent me photos of my trailer under construction. Tell them your serial number and they can pull up photos of it being built, which answered my question. Not sure anybody else can do that. To your comment about a beavertail - the trailer has it, plus a pair of steel rollers at the rear but it hasn't dragged yet. It pulls easily behind a Ram 3500 SRW, much easier than the steel Pace. Also better in a crosswind with the slight spread to the axles. This is one of the Lite series, their basic model, but it's still got plenty of options and the aluminum floor is easy to keep clean. Good luck with the purchase - I wish I had done it years ago.
