I am in the market for an enclosed cargo trailer and plan on buying in the next couple weeks. I am looking to see if anybody has any opinions or stuff to look for / avoid. This will technically be my first trailer purchase.
Here is a couple bullet points that have me to this point.
Given tax and registration I think new is the best option. This also removes doubt on tires and maintenance by past owners.
It will serve fairly light duty and not be heavily loaded most of its life. I have a small piece of property ant it will be used to haul crap back and forth. Mainly stuff like a push mower, wood chipper, cooler, swim gear, camping gear.
I will assume the normal load will probably never be over 1000lbs cargo.
I feel a single axle will be sufficient.
Tow rig is a 2012 4x4 suburban.
I want to be able to stand so 6' interior is preferred.
The one I am looking at is a 6x12.
With all that, I don't want to under buy. The 4 and 5' wide ones mostly seem to be only 4 and 5 foot tall inside. I may do shelves on one side to hold totes with all the above listed crap and I think 6' wide should work. As to the length, the smaller ones in 6' wide are 10 and 12' before you hit tandem axle and I don't think I need the extra parts or weight capacity.
Here are a couple questions for anybody that has input.
It seems most the single axle units don't have trailer brakes... is this something that could be added or would it require an axle replacement?
Opinions on curved, flat and angled fronts?
I like the idea of the man door on the side, opinions on the big fold down door or barn doors on the back?
Is there something I should be looking into as fas as material construction of the interior or exterior walls. Most seem plywood interior and aluminum exterior.
I'll give the link to the one I am looking at. Overall build (and cost) seems slightly higher thank some but the interior looks trimmed out better than others.
I am in B/CS so traveling a couple hours is in the plan to get the the better selection.
