Best size and where to get???

[TMills]

I am looking for a enclosed trailer that I can move furniture in (couches, beds, desks, etc. ). I was wondering what length and weight to get. Also, what brands or styles are good? Thanks for all the help.

You didn't mention what size trl, or how much furniture, or how far it was going, but I've pulled a 20' enclosed car trl with furn. in it and it pulled great. It had a locking side door and rear beaver tail ramp. When I was looking for atoy totter you can get them with the furniture already in place.

If it is only to move furniture with, then I would go with a cheaper trailer. There are many brands of trailers Pace, Haulmark, Timber Wolf, US Cargo just to name a few. All make good trailers and in several series which allow someone like yourself to buy a trailer with not so many options and features, to keep the cost down. I do not know how much furniture you need to move? But thinking typical move, I would think a 8' x 20' standard roof height, 36" side door, rear ramp door, with two 3500lb axles would be sufficient. This trailer up to a 24' long model is very popular and makes up the bulk of all trailer sales. They are very nice to load furniture in with the ramp door, and will have a good payload. Usually you can find these type trailers for under 4000. 00 new, and now is a great time to buy. There are many year end left overs to be had for a great price, and if you decide to sell the trailer after it's use, they are easy to sell.

There are a few Items that will add to the trailers value and make it more appealing to others for re-sale. Many manufacturers offer a longer front hitch, and also the option of a third member added to the hitch for strength. Most "car hauler" should have a 4' side door, anything smaller and it not useful to the racers . The trailer may only come standard with one axle brakes, two axle is much better.

Good luck.
