Who owns a Triton Prestige trailer?

My list of must-haves:
LED light upgrade (entire trailer)
Electric brakes on both axles
Exterior loading flood lights
Back-up lights
Cove interior lighting on 3-way switches
White alumium on interior walls
Wall-mount for spare tire located in the V-nose opposite the ramp door
Walk-through door with glass (never can have too much light)
Salem vents - one on the front curb side and one on the rear driver's side
Aluminum wheels (rusty wheels suck and get the matching spare)
Flaps on both ramp doors
Quickslide tie-downs for ratchet straps
Hmm...sounds like the options on my trailer! ;-)
Paid about $11k back in '06 and probably have a grand or two more in tweaks ranging from decals to the "train track" system to guide sleds in to their spots.

The in-floor spare didn't sound good to me at 2 AM in the middle of Wyoming unloading a trailer full of sleds and gear in 40 MPH winds with horizontal snow.
The spare on the wall of the v-nose isn't in the way and is as simple to use as removing a lug nut.
Yes, the battery for the interior lights is nice!

The train track is exactly what it sounds like -- Imagine two parallel train tracks for the skis on either side of the trailer with a railroad switch to change from one side to the other as one enters the v-nose.
With the train track system, I can load and have three sleds each strapped down front and rear in about the time it takes someone to load one sled in a "regular" trailer.
The track system took about a month to design and build in the garage.
P.S. No ski crankdown bars here.

If you have not bought trailer yet, call advantage trailer in carol stream IL. They just gave me quote of around $7500 out the door, on a brand new ATC 3 place inline with most the extras. The triton was 3g more for the same thing. I have been calling all over everywhere and they had best price in and out of state. Don't get me wrong triton is a good trailer I even own one but big difference in price.

I second advantage trailer in Carol Stream. Great people to do business with. Bought a 2008 Triton from them 2 years ago.
I bought a new Triton Prestige 147 in November of 2007. Best investment I made for snowmobiling. I have the side access door, spare tire mounted on the wall by the side access door, finished interior walls, 8 inch slides on the floor, spring assisted front and rear doors, door flaps,upgraded wheel package, and quick slide tie downs. Electric brakes on one axle. I mostly only have two sleds in the trailer, but I do annual trip with the father in law which means three sleds. Took an couple of hours to figure out but I can get 3 sleds to fit. The sleds are a 2009 Polaris Dragon SP, a 2006 Polaris Classic with M10, and a 2008 Ski-Doo XP 600 SDI. With 3 sleds there is plenty of room for gear bags, extra tools, and storage containers with oil. I get 15 miles to a gallon pulling the loaded trailer along with 3 people in my 2004 GMC Denali 6.0. I live in Northern Illinois but went up to the Triton Distributor in Kewauskum Wisconsin, Lakeside Service, talk to Dave he is a great guy. He is always at the Milwaukee show, and I know he goes to other shows. In all I got the trailer for a little over $10K, at first I felt that was a little steep, but after the first trip with the trailer, it was the best investment I made besides buying my first sled and getting into this sport.
