... not the kind some folks elect to live in wink

I'm going to need to buy a trailer in the next couple of months - looking for 10-20 foot long fully enclosed one to haul a few pallets and a trade stand in. Nothing too heavy, 3 tons max I expect which a quick scan tells me needs a class 4 receiver hitch.

Just wondering who makes good ones and what I should be looking for really. Don't need all the bells and whistles, but if I have to buy one I'd rather not have to replace it anytime soon.

Featherlite - can't go wrong with one of these.

However, renting one from UHaul is so cheap, you might want to look at that option too (benefit being that you don't have the big, numb thing stinking up your driveway when you're not using it.

Thanks guys, all look spot on. Exactly what I'm after smile

I did consider the U-Haul option, but I think I'd rather just buy a new one as it'll get a fair bit of use, and it can be branded up etc.
Storing it isn't a problem, I'm taking over a nice big warehouse in the next month or two so I'll have bags of space to play with.

Featherlite, Haulmark and Wells Cargo are all UTC trailers so are quite similar in price and spec.
