What are they charging for a 101" X 16' Crossover?

 

Don't know much about Mission trailers other than the fact I see a lot of them on the highway and in hotel parking lots. Must say something good about them.

They start out at $6000 for the 101x16

 

I had a mission hybrid 101" x 12", the front end is a sail that catches the wind horribly. Ended up breaking most of the welds up front on the support tubes. They were only welded on one side, wish I would have noticed this before I bought it. I would look at a V nose if I was you.

 

Yes, that's why I mentioned the welds were only on one side where the square vertical supports met the horizontal. They should have been welded on at least 2 sides. The trailer I mentioned was a mission. I thought they could have built it better, wanted the OP to look over the welds carefully. I highly doubt they have different build standards.

 

Mission is an Alcom product, Alcom is a huge trailer manufacturer in Maine that makes Mission, High Country, EZ Hauler and a few others (camper trailers too I think). I have now owned 3 Alcom trailers in my life- a 10' Mission clamshell, a Mission 7x12+5' V nose single axle and now my 7x14+5' V nose EZ Hauler. I have had good experiences on all of them. The clamshell had an issue that I believe 90% of all clamshells on the road have, and not many people know- the main beams were cracked right at the axle mount. There were cracks on the bottom of the two main aluminum beams right at the rear bolts for the Dexter torsion axle mount. Honestly, I never would have known if I didn't change the rusted axle mount bolts. I had it welded up with some reinforcing plates and it was fine until I sold it- probably still hauling today.

I would admit that both my inlines have some cosmetic/minor issues that you might not see from a smaller specialty builder. Some of the welds look a little messy but they are solid. The outdoor OSB used for the floor could be a better product. But I saved easily $2k off a more highly regarded brand here in the Northeast- Proline. Overall I would definitely recommend Mission/Alcom products, but you do need to realize they are definitely a mass produced product in a huge factory as opposed to a specialty builder.

 

Had a Mission trailer and the quality was not great. Bought a Proline instead.

Been our same experience with the trailer the fire dept has. One side has welds that are acceptable. Other side does not. Cuts on the rails were inconsistent and they tried to fill gaps with weld. Not impressed. Would not buy or recommend another mission.

Proline has a few issues. However they were quick to fix it at their facility. No dealer network pointing fingers or getting approvals. Just hey there's a problem ok we will fix that and sorry for the inconvenience here's a free spare tire mount for your troubles.

 

My group has had 2 missions. One was a Highbread and the welds around the rear doors both broke and the front support brace above the access hatch bent. The other was a V and the welds around the door frame broke same locations and the weld where the roof goes from flat to angled down broke. Both guys "do not" abuse there trailer. The trailers were stored inside all winter while not in use so it wasn't snow build up. They had at times both trailers parks beside mine for the winter and summer in my garage. Mine was and is a blizzard ( I have owned 2). Both rewelded the joints and sold them pretty cheap. One now owns an S&S and the other a NEO. Not a thing has cracked or moved. In the past 2 years. That is my experience in mission. Seems the welds were pretty much on the low end. THis is just my opinion I am not bad mouthing them. Every trailer has it faults.

 

i personality,would pass on on any mission unit,as other have said from experience thier welds are substandard, i can vouch for proline and neo as i have both, proline is topnotch customer service,if any issues arise, tom and aaron WILL make it rite,i,m speaking from experience.

 

4th year with my Mission hybrid. Just hauled it to Gaspe and back (1600 km) with 2 sleds in with no issues. Been a good trailer so far.
