Seeking advice and purchase of a closed trailer
 
Seeking advice and any options for sale nearby to Phoenix for a 18-20 foot enclosed trailer to tow. I have used others trailers but never owned one. Need to make a trip to Texas to pick up a ton of parts and spares for my triumph plus a complete triumph spitfire in process and all the parts won't fit in anything less than 18 foot. Anyone have suggestions on a cost effective trailer or anyone in Phoenix that has one I can rent for a weekend?
Ron

Ron,

You might want to let your fellow club members who what you plan to tow it with to put their minds at ease.

Good point. Either my Toyota t100(about a 4000 lb limit) or my 2008 dodge sprinter Diesel

If you want to buy one and budget is less of concern, Pete Brock has a totally cool one!;)

If you can make a 14 footer work you are welcome to borrow mine, no charge. You can get the extra 4 foot from the bed of your truck

I'd suggest the sprinter over the T100 if you want to tow an enclosed trailer

Thanks DWRAT, I really appreciate it. I am getting a complete list of parts to see if the seller was meaning an 18 foot plus my truck or 14 plus truck. The sprinter will hold a lot more than the 8 foot bed of my truck.Yes I planned on the sprinter unless it was a open lighter trailer. It is almost 2 complete cars worth of Triumph gt6 and spitfire parts in Texas.

My trailer is low profile and I pull it with a Tacoma v-6 no problem.

It's a little bigger than what you're looking for but I have an enclosed 24' foot enclosed trailer for sale in Dallas, TX if you're interested. It's a 2013 model in great shape, I just don't use it the way I thought I would.

Send me a PM when you can with pictures and what you are looking to get for it?
Thanks
Ron

csx4910,
Good hunting.
But nothing's cooler than pulling a Cobra in an open trailer. ;)

check out the Aerovault MK II. Pete Brock's latest enclosed lightweight . BRE: Aerovault MKII car trailer

Ron, while light weight trailers might be fine when the weather is OK, bringing my black car back from Mo. was a pain. Coming across New Mexico we were bucking a 45 mph head wind that would swing left or right about 45 degrees at will. Had we been pulling a light weight trailer, it would have been blowing around like a sail. I was pulling an 18ft. Mighty Mover with a cobra and a bunch of spare parts in it. It didn't blow around at all.

You might want to consider a Serpent Express.
