Recently purchased a GIC Black Series Alpha trailer.
Contemplated one about 3 years ago but after an inspection, was not happy with the quality of the welding, door seals, locks,and hinges. Anyway circumstances changed and I never went through with any purchases.
Recently I was back in the market for one. After checking out all the shows I was recommended by a friend to give GIC another go as they had apparently changed ownership a was now producing a better unit.
After a thorough inspection of the trailer and a tour of the factory, I decided on purchasing the Black Series Alpha trailer. In my opinion the welding is now worlds better. The new management must have now employed staff that can actually weld. Also they are now using good quality compression locks, automotive seals, and full length stainless steel piano hinges. It's a lot of trailer for the price.
Currently the trailer is in tow behind my son's Patrol on it's way to the Cape via the old tele track. It's just been through Nolans Brook with out a water leak. That's a good thing.
I will report how it fares once it gets home although it will be some time, as he's doing Cape York / Mount Isa / Birdsville / Adelaide / Melbourne / Tasmania / Sydney. I will be meeting him in Melbourne and towing the trailer around Tassie and Home. Looking forward to it.
