Bikertoberfest - Daytona Beach, FL

The last major bikeweek rally of the year was a tremendous success. While the overall bike count was down approximately 30% there was still a great crowd of people out enjoying the beautiful weather. The Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce attributes the decline in attendees to the high fuel costs that are being seen across the nation.

ATC and Motiv trailers were once again on display at Robin Hanger's The Car Shop Trailer Sales located in US1 in Holly Hill, Florida. The location is tremendous for the spring and fall bike ralleys as they are strategically located between Daytona Beach and Bruce Rossmeyer's Destination Daytona Harley Davidson dealership which has become a must see hot spot during everyones visit.

The Car Shop Trailer Sales have an extremely large inventory of ATC and Motiv trailers ranging from the ever popular GTS to Motiv's line of incredible Toy Haulers and everything in between. The show was a success as quite a few retail sales were realized and contacts were made to secure future sales. Keep your eyes open as you are likely to see ATC and Motiv at the larger bike ralleys!

The Difference is Steel Tubing

It's a crowded market out there in the steel frame / aluminum skin trailer industry. There are a lot of different ways to set yourself apart from the crowd. These days too many companies focus their energy on the icing on the cake instead of the actual cake itself.

It goes without saying Motiv has the "icing" but what's more important is the "cake" the part you don't see, in our case the frame. Motiv takes great pride in utilizing a steel tube cage on every car hauler we manufacture. Most companies cut costs in the areas you don't see, so hat channel posts and other "stamped" metals find there way into the walls and roof crossmembers of their products.

At Motiv we invest in our products because we know the real-world conditions they encounter and we want to ensure our customers that our trailers are built to take the punishment they will encounter. This is why we utilize a steel tubing in both the wall crossmembers and the ceiling crossmembers. The strength of our trailers comes from the actual frame itself, not the addition of the interior and exterior walls.

So the next time you find yourself comparing the features and benefits of a trailer take the time to understand exactly what it is that you're buying and how it's built. At Motiv we take the time to build it right the first time, so that the trailer you purchase will deliver years and years of trouble-free service.

With Motiv you can have your cake and eat it too!

Understanding Value

It goes without saying that Motiv does not build the least expensive trailers in the market, but when it comes to purchasing a trailer the old adage, "you get what you pay for," could not be more true.

If you're ready to invest your hard earned dollars toward the purchase of a new trailer, make certain you take the time to understand the differences in the trailers you're considering. You should be looking for the greatest value possible within the budget you have to spend.

As I tell people when they're shopping for a trailer, there are two "Q's" in the trailer manufacturing business. Quality and Quantity. Most manufacturers are geared toward the "quantity" side of manufacturing...it makes sense for them, they're attempting to get the most product through there facility possible.

This kind of manufacturing mentality is not geared toward producing a high quality product, rather volume, numbers and profit at the main goal considered. While these trailers may look OK when they're new, sitting on the dealers lot, they simply aren't built in a manner that will deliver reliable and trouble-free service for any extended period.

At Motiv we have always put "quality" first. Our main objective with every trailer we build is to manufacture the absolute highest quality product that will not only meet or exceed your expectations the day you purchase it, but also every year thereafter. When a skilled craftsman pours his heart and soul into his trade the finished product carries with it a part of himself. At Motiv we pride ourselves on our commitment to build the absolute best trailers available in the industry.

Value is never measured by how low of a price you can purchase something for...it's gauged by the level of quality you get for the amount of money you spend. At Motiv our focus is to provide exceptional value. So if you're in the market for a trailer, look beyond the lowest priced trailer, look for the greatest value...look to Motiv.
