The Disabled American Veterans Aviation Public Outreach Program was at this year’s EAA AirVenture Oshkosh along with our own Dale Davis. Dale is our Corporate Solutions Director here at ATC and was a key player in the creation of AirSupport’s DAV display trailer. According to Dale, thousands of EAA guests stopped by to get a close-up look at the B-25 airplane and the DAV display that featured videos and information about DAV. “It’s always great to see one of our trailers in use, but being here and seeing the display reach so many people really makes my job enjoyable” says Dale.
You can find more information about the DAV display as well as AirSupport at www.airsupport.com.
We are only a month away from kicking off the 2008-2009 college football season. With that in mind, it’s time to start preparing for those awesome tailgating parties! Show up this year with a brand new tailgating trailer from Sam’s Club and you will have everyone visiting you! This 5′ x 8′ ultimate tailgating trailer features a 47″ Vizio LCD HDTV, Sony Sound System and tongue mounted grill with pivot arm. Rear and side doors allow easy access, and cabinets provide organized storage. The trailer also features rubber coin flooring, electrical outlets w/ 30 amp breaker box & cord, internal E-tracks for secure hauling, internal lighting, smooth aluminum exterior and aluminum wheels w/ spare tire and wheel.
Okay, so maybe it isn’t Christmas but with our new photo gallery it may seem like you get a little Christmas in July! We have said before that a picture is worth a thousand words. Well our gallery is speaking well over a million words then and it will continue to grow! If I were to try to explain to you everything we do in words, I’m sure a million words would not even come close to helping you fully understand the type of trailer we can build fo you. But our hope is that if you look at our gallery, you will not only see things we have done but also get ideas for what you need! So check out our new gallery and start dreaming of the trailer we can build for you!
Here at ATC & Motiv we try hard to build a trailer that will last for you. Unfortunately, there are elements that eat away at your trailer. Rust is a problem on nearly all vehicles. With our ATC brand, we don’t have to worry as the frame is built completely out of aluminum. But with our Motiv brand, that steel frame is a perfect target for rust. That is why we recently started coating all of our steel frames with BASF’s DegaCoat. DegaCoat is a non-fibered, emulsified-asphalt designed to provide a durable protective coating for use on structural frames or metal surfaces. A frame with DegaCoat will outlast a standard painted because DegaCoat is so resilient to chips and dings. We are confident that you will be happy with the way your steel frame will last with this new DegaCoat finish.
We recently completed our Custom Trailers page and we are proud to show so many different types of custom and commercial trailers we have built recently. We have added over 700 images in over 40 galleries! The best part is that it’s only the tip of the iceberg. We show you a lot of what we have done to give you ideas but we are not limited to those trailers. In fact, our only limitation is your imagination. We challenge you to design trailers that are unique to your needs. Don’t settle for something close, have us build it exact!
We spent the past few months looking at ways to improve our site for both our customers and dealers. After researching what we had and what we wanted we decided to start from the ground up and release a brand new site.
One of our biggest changes was the decision to combine ATC and Motiv Products into one site. We are extremely proud of both brands and wanted to make sure you could see them both easily. This also prompted us to combine ATC and Motiv in our quoting software for your convenience. You can also compare features and specs from a single page. We hope this make is easier for you to choose the right trailer for you.
We have also improved dealer finder to return more results faster. We don’t want you to have to wait to find a great ATC & Motiv dealer when you could be visiting them instead. Try it out and find a dealer near you.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, well we believe that as well. That is why we have added galleries and will continue to add galleries as pictures become available. In fact, we are interested in pictures of your ATC or Motiv Trailer! If you have some great shots of your trailer that you would like to share, contact us and let us know.
We hope that the changes we have made will make your experience with us a pleasant one.
ATC and Motiv are proud to introduce our new 2009 model lineup. Our main products feature the same quality design, build and construction, but we have changed our features a little to keep them in line with changing budgets in this economy. Here is a short list of the improvements that we have provided to help make your choice of an ATC or Motiv simple.
The ATC Quest and Motiv RSX Car Haulers and Goosenecks have had their standard features slimmed down to be more basic with lower base prices. Those features can be easily added back in if desired as options, but will save some money for those looking for a basic unit.
The ATC SS and Motiv MSX have been made into flat front trailers with the GTS and GTX trailers added as packages. Get the same great features as before, but save a few dollars on the base units if you need to.
There are more options available on all of our lines of trailers, no more hassling with limited option trailers that don’t fit your needs. You can now simply start with a base trailer and design the trailer that fits all your needs, not just some of them.
We are constantly striving to improve our product and find new ways to make the trailer buying experience simpler and more enjoyable. Browse our new product line and find the right trailer to fit your needs!

The last major bikeweek rally of the year was a tremendous success. While the overall bike count was down approximately 30% there was still a great crowd of people out enjoying the beautiful weather. The Daytona Beach Chamber of Commerce attributes the decline in attendees to the high fuel costs that are being seen across the nation.
ATC and Motiv trailers were once again on display at Robin Hanger’s The Car Shop Trailer Sales located in US1 in Holly Hill, Florida. The location is tremendous for the spring and fall bike ralleys as they are strategically located between Daytona Beach and Bruce Rossmeyer’s Destination Daytona Harley Davidson dealership which has become a must see hot spot during everyones visit.
The Car Shop Trailer Sales have an extremely large inventory of ATC and Motiv trailers ranging from the ever popular GTS to Motiv’s line of incredible Toy Haulers and everything in between. The show was a success as quite a few retail sales were realized and contacts were made to secure future sales. Keep your eyes open as you are likely to see ATC and Motiv at the larger bike ralleys!
