I know this subject was brought up a few years ago, but does anyone know about Hi Point trailers being built again?

Hi Point is trying to get started up again and will be working on the HP14 and HP20. They will keep us in the loop during the production. The frame is redesigned for the 20 and they are currently working on the frame for the 14 (2 most popular trailers)
More to come![:p]
Kip,
That's good to know. Thanks for contacting them and getting an update.
Gary, They seem pretty motivated about the trailers. I would be interested in a 14' myself. Something to haul a few bikes and sleep in. Hope they have some nice graphics or possibly have some made up locally. Like to style them after some of the old Penton Decals!:)
hello kip have they given you a idea on price yet thanks dave
Not yet, probably waiting to get the 14ft redone. New axles, frame design, etc, on both models. They indicated once ready, will contact the POG.;)
Big Mac has a Highpoint trailer that is smaller than the 14' I think, but it still holds three bikes. very nice I sure wish they made one like that again... it is small enough and light enough that you could pull it behind a small truck which would make traveling to races alot more possible.. I have taken my three rail on long trips and economy wise it worked great but if we get any rain, the bikes are covered in crud before we even get to the races and up in the NW we get alot of rain even in the summer. so I think a small enclosed light weight trailer would be really handy... I have even thought of building something like it just because I think they are so cool...
Thom Green,Still crazy after all these years!

No word yet on their site about new Hi Point trailers?
My old Hi Point is an '88 bought from Lou Lacrone, who was a member of the Amherst Meadowlark Club and friend of JP in the old days. It's the early flat top style, 6'6" height so it rolls easily under a standard garage door opening and tucks out of the wind pretty well at speed. Downside is it's only 5' interior height for walking around, but I accept the need to stoop for the benefit of minimal wind drag on the highway and ease of storage. Plus light enough to roll around by hand easily even with bikes still in it.

I guess it's considered a 14'...11' interior length to the nose plus 3' of tongue. Inside width of 6'4" at floor accepts 3 bikes, two forward against the cross bar, one backward in between. Also enough room for two cots side by side and a bunk across the front for me and my two boys on overnights.
We put 3 big bikes in it along with all our gear and made a trip over the Cascades' 4500 ft pass last month behind an F150 and it showed just a 1 mpg reduction in average mileage. V6 in my Jeep Cherokee pulls it well enough too but knocks off about 3-4 mpg. Just about the smallest, lightest and most efficient way to enclose and haul 2-3 bikes and gear in my book.
I would love one, but I would need at least a 20'
