Eastman, GA – A warning to the aluminum trailer manufacturers disguising products as serious motorsports trailers. Optima just pulled into town. The principals of Optima Industries just happen to be the owners of Pace American, the country’s leading manufacturer of racecar trailers. “It’s been a dream of mine to provide a superior aluminum trailer and motorhome than what is currently on the market,” says Mitch Bender, CEO & Owner of Optima and a road racer.
Optima did not just take existing trailer technology and transfer it over to aluminum trailers and motorhomes. Millions of dollars were invested upfront in the design and manufacturing process. They started with a clean slate, simultaneously designing the manufacturing process and the product with a specific purpose in mind – to produce trailers and motorhomes that are unparalleled in today’s market. They hired experienced engineers and designers and brought in new equipment to the manufacturing facility in Eastman, GA. “We’ve married the latest technology, equipment and premium materials to ensure that we manufacture the strongest, straightest, best-looking aluminum trailers and motorhomes on the market today,” Bender says. “Our tagline is ‘Aluminum Trailers Redefined’ and that’s what Optima is going to do – redefine the aluminum motorsports market.”
One of the many advantages that the Optima team has is that they are close to their dealers and the end user. They also actually use the product. Many of the employees and their families are racers, logging thousands of miles each season hauling cars and equipment from coast to coast. They understand what it takes to produce top-quality, premium, all aluminum trailers and motorhomes that really work. Standard features on
the trailers include 4” I-beam aluminum crossmembers, .050 exterior skin, VHB fastenerless exterior, 48” side door with stepwell (an Optima exclusive), extruded aluminum floor, insulated walls and ceiling, a finished interior, racer friendly dimensions like 96” rear ramp door opening, 83” between the wheel wells, 98” interior width and an 18” rear platform height and more make Optima the only choice for racers. Optima trailers have an automotive quality fit-and-finish with almost no visible fasteners that is unmatched by any other manufacturer. Optima trailers are available in 24’ to 34’ tag models and 36’ to 52’ gooseneck models.
Motorhome standards include Freightliner chassis, a slideout, 4” I-beam aluminum frame, insulated walls and ceiling, huge fresh water tank and wastewater tank capacities, .050 VHB fastenerless exterior, aluminum baggage doors and compartments, 10kw super quiet generator, recessed three-burner stove with oven, full length mirrors, entertainment package with satellite dish and more. There are seven floor plans available in 16’, 17’ and 19’ lengths with decks and 26’, 28’, 30’ and 32’ motorhome configurations.
“Optima trailers and motorhomes are going to take the market by storm,” Bender predicts. “We’ve got a product to fit every level of buyer, from entry-level trailers all the way to custom motorcoaches and transporters.”
