Is that question for me jt? If so, yes, I sold it already. I asked what I thought was a fair price and had 6 people contact me the first day I listed it and sold it the very next day at full asking price. Probably could have gotten more but I still feel I was fair with the price so I'm happy. My new R & R trailer is ordered and I'll have it beginning of December.
The Legend definitely has nicer fit and finish, I hope I don't regret the R & R but they have good enough feedback I'm somewhat comfortable. I think their welding could be a lot better, that's for sure. I'm a structural engineer so well versed in what welds should look like and sloppy welding is a pet peeve of mine. That being said there is just no denying you get more for your money with R & R than a lot of other manufacturers. I also wanted the 7.5' width for loading side-by-sides which legend doesn't offer, a 7' width would have been too tight for me in the end.

I have a 2002 R&R 7x27' Powersports Deluxe. It was in bad shape as far as the axles & fenders when I got it (was owned by a dealership who beat the crap out of it) but after 3 new axles, 2 new fenders, and 4 new tires, I love it. It pulls great with my older 1/2 ton truck. I added airbags to the rear of my truck and they help keep it from sagging. The newer trucks probably wouldn't have as much of an issue. I have had others pull it as well and they always comment on how nice it pulls.
This is what it looked like when I got it. Removing all those decals and buffing it out was very time consuming.

Thanks for your post. I ran across your review somewhere else and that helped me get comfortable with the R&R, as your trailer is 14 years old now and with a little TLC looks like a new trailer again!I have a 2002 R&R 7x27' Powersports Deluxe. It was in bad shape as far as the axles & fenders when I got it (was owned by a dealership who beat the crap out of it) but after 3 new axles, 2 new fenders, and 4 new tires, I love it.

Thanks. This is the inside after I replaced all of the fluorescent lighting parts in the lights with LED strip.

I like it. What's the deal on protection on the flooring?

Finally got my trailer that I ordered from R & R. A couple little issues, such as gas doors not fitting right but otherwise I'm pretty happy with it. I need to get my flooring in, agm battery wired, and electric jack installed and she'll be ready to go. My truck tires look small because of lift but are still 34's. I run smaller all terrains in the winter as they are so much better in snow than the 37 Toyo M/T's. Trailer doesn't look that big in this pic, but it's the scale. She's about 30' inside length, 7.5 feet wide, 7' interior height and with beaver trail rear door is 6'-11" clear.
