Suggestions for buying a new enclosed trailer

[loud91rs]

I am in the market for a 8.5' x 20' enclosed car hauler. Entry level is fine, I don't want to spend too much. I went to Tom's trailers in Menomonee Falls, and they had RC trailers. The price seemed good. Anybody know of where else I can shop around? I don't have the $$$ for haulmark or wells cargo, etc. The trailer won't be used too much so I don't see the need to spend double what the RC trailer is. I am open to suggestions. Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the help. I am trying to look for one close to home but I will certainly keep checking racingjunk.

Yellowbullet has a TON of information. I think the problem will be that I am not positive what I want/don't want to bring with me. I know I can fit a car, tool box, misc tools, and a motorcycle in a 20' trailer. I wonder how long that will be enough...haha

a 20 ft trailer is hardly big enough for a car unless your into beetles or minis. You need room in front of and in back of the car to strap it down, and if your talking your camaro I would go with a 24 footer at the minimum so you can safely strap the car down and still have room for a small work bench / tool boxes / etc

budget? there was a couple 20ft's for sale on chitown a little while back. just found them while searching through "cars for sale"

After porks comment it got me thinking. I am thinking a 26 footer now since I will be hauling mostly a and f bodies.

its just better size for RESALE value too IMO, good choice :)

Jason,i wouldnt buy anything shorter than 24'
just like building a garage,go bigger than you think you need,you can always fill it up with a countertop,toolbox,and cabinets as you go.

I am really leaning towards the 26' trailer. I am assuming with this I can fit a full size car, and still have room for a craftsman toolbox and POSSIBLY a small atv. Tow vehicle is an 89 chevy 3500 2wd dually reg cab short box. I think this should all work.
