Trailers
I am looking to buy a trailer, and I thought I would ask what trailers have worked out for other people. I know when I buy one there will be something I wish I would of known or got so...
What is the best brand for the money?
What is the best size for two bikes, tools, compressor, and some other junk?
Are there any options you just can't do with out?
Are two axels nedded to carry that much weight?
I don't know **** about trailers, so if anyone has any experience or knowlegde they want to throw my way I would appreciate it.

all depends how much u are hauling there are many good companies out there... how much space do u have to store it??? if u are hauling over 1200 lbs u may want a double axle... whay kind of vehicle are u using to pull it??? check the tow weight of ur vehicle... also take into consideration when u haul something u have to change ur driving style completely so u may want to start out with a small trailor... practice backing-up, parking, changing lanes, etc... it's harder then it looks, jack-knifing really sucks!

What are you towing it with- that makes a big difference as well. My friend used to tow a 16 foot enclosed with 5 bikes in it with a Tahoe that had 20's on it. That was the worst ride ever- The trailer pushed the truck all over the road, He ended up rolling the whole rig going down a mountain when the trailer tried to pass the truck

I am towing the trailer with a chevy silverado 1500, v-8 5.3
I for sure want a enclosed
I looked at the well-cargo and they were nice, they wanted like 5600 and 5100 for a 7-12
I also looked at some haulmark, they looked just as clean, but I don't know if they are as durable. They were about 4600
Their was one wells-cargo that was the V-nose that could fit one bike and all my ****, it was more my price range 3100.
Would it be better to go with a cargo trailer and put in the attatchments to hold motorcycles myself.
