Enclosed Trailer advice wanted

[BlueStreak]

I'm getting ready to pick up an enclosed trailer, mainly to get the race car and supplies out of our garage (the wife thinks it's a fine idea )

Anyway, I'm looking for advice regarding stuff in the 20' range, what to avoid, where the best places to look online for used ones are, what options are "must haves", etc.

Your experience with a particular brand would be great to hear as well.


Thanks in advance,
Eddie

- Electricity (You can do this yourself, but don't wait until after you load it. Done it twice and only takes a Sat.)
- A/C - Even if you don't sleep in it, it's nice to have a cool palce to go after racing in 98° weather.
- Load leveling hitch
- Paint the floor/walls or some other covering.
- Wheel chock (sp?). The one that I have actually sits between the two wheels and you ratchet spread them. That way if one wheel wants to turn one way, the other wheel won't let it.
- 12v lights, for when you are trying to unhook/hook up late night. I actually tend to use my 12v lights when I'm getting ready for bed. Less painful on the eyes then the 120v lights in teh middle of the night at the track
- D-Rings in the floor
- If you plan to sleep in it, a RV type door in the side is nice.
- Electric tongue jack. Love mine and don't want to ever own an enclosed trailer without it.
- Shelving or cabinets

I know this isn't quite the list you were looking for. There is a lot of must have and want to have in there, but that's stuff I love about my enclosed off the top of my head.

Eddie, I figured you and 'hammer would be buying a two car open trailer for the "TEAM" :026: :026:

The thought crossed my mind

Seriously though, I need to make room in the garage! I've got expensive (to me) daily drivers sitting outside and a relatively low buck race car and spares/tires/tools taking up all the garage space!
