Chip Schwein

Founder & CEO

Chip started in the trailer business in 1985 at Eagle Trailers. He spent almost 20 years there and was proud of what he helped develop. Still, there were some deficiencies in the product he knew could be enhanced. He started Phoenix Trailers in the fall of 2004 to create trailers with improved paint, suspension system, tires, fasteners, winches, jacks and more.

 

 

Bill Harper

Engineer

Bill has been designing custom trailers since the mid ’70s for some notable trailer companies. He has more experience in trailer design than anyone else in the industry. Phoenix Trailers’ engineering is a part of what sets us apart from the competition.

 

 

Dave Wilkinson

Dave has been in the marine industry since 2007. He first worked for a competitor as a purchaser for five years, then he went to work for UFP Dexter (a leading marine axle manufacturer) first as an OEM warranty rep then he was moved into OEM sales.

Happy Customers

I am now on my third Phoenix trailer and could not be more happy with the product. I have never had one problem with any of my trailers. I'm overly impressed with the product from Phoenix trailers and would certainly recommend to any boat owner out there.
