Anyone ever priced out building a trailer vs buying a new/newer trailer?

18' wood deck

Two, 6000 lb trailer axles, w/ electric brakes $800
Coupler, $80
Steel, 2x5 .188 wall rectangular tubing for frame + crossmembers =$360
Angle Iron for wood Deck $154
Pressure treated Wood for Wood Deck $312
Lights $70
Tires/wheels $500

Man, buying a new trailer sounds worth it!

the upside to building your own is you can ensure better quality work, and it will probably last a little longer than mass manufactured trailers
