Re: Enclosed Trailer
I have had to rent a trailer twice to make the trip to Montana.
The first one was a 24' (white). Great for what we had to do that trip. Brought home car and furniture.
The second one was a 20' trailer. (grey) Plenty of room for the "A", but I did notice that I was having to work around the straps to get stuff out of it that we brought along. Also, this trailer had landing gear at the rear corners. Which was a great add on. I could use the trailer as a garage while out there. I didn't need the truck hooked up to keep the trailer nose on the ground when driving the car in and out.
Both trailer had the built in door ramp, and were both beaver tails. Which means, the ramp angle continued into the trailer a couple feet.
Both had big square wall hitting the head winds, which didn't help much on my fuel mileage.(not that I expected great fuel mileage anyway)
When it comes time to buy a trailer, the 24' will be my first choice. But, I will also look for one that has a Vnose front to help deflect the wind.
Keep an eye on craig's list. I saw one here that was 24' with cabinets and storage in the nose and wired for a generator to run over head lights and power outlets. $1900. Missed it by one day!
