Enclosed Trailer Buying Guide for Dummies... A Deep Dive

[@mriguy3202]

I've had a few of these for work. A problem I never solved is security, and it would be nice if someone had a better security package. A few tips: If you cannot exactly predict the loads you will carry, get the heavy load axles. Paint the inside white, it doesn't take long and you can find stuff in the trailer a lot easier. Lights are good and are cheap. Get a couple foam pool noodles and leave them in the trailer to snap over the rear door wires to avoid walking into the wires. Make a wood step for the side door, it helps a lot when loading and unloading.

Just got mine in last week. Works great. My favorite way to unhook on my TYM 474 cab is to open the rear window, raise the 3 point up, and flip the handles. Drop the implement and then repeat to flip the handles back over. Can pick up and drop without ever leaving the seat.

Actually there are 3 different types....in northern Indiana there is the type where you pay 1/2 to get the build started and you Never see the trailer. In the end the Indiana AG's office will tell you " we tried to work this out thru mediation but since He wouldn't answer back there is nothing we can do" so, the theft continues.. If you are buying a trailer, buy off the lot and dont give money up front for a build....at least to a guy around middlebury/elkhart.

I like my budget cargo trailer for what it is, 4 piece galvaline roof and all. If you are willing to put in the effort and use about a thousand dollars worth of supplies. You might get them to last a decade. Looking forward to see how the new poly core stuff works....about time the industry took a step forward.

Great video, finally looking to replace my trailer. For what it’s worth, I bought a 25’ rc cargo all sport new in 2013 for $9k. I now have over 600k on it hauling full of motorcycles at all times. The salt has taken its toll, but with routine maintenance and a little welding here and there it has made it through. Other trailers cost 2 to 3 to 4x, but as someone who’s used this every day to its full capabilities, this budget trailer has over performed. Dealers tell me you are lucky to get 100k out of these POS. For a crappy trailer with shotty workmanship, my rc cargo has proven many wrong. It doesn’t look as nice as a 50k trailer, but I don’t think I’m going to get 2.5 million miles out of a 50k trailer, so the value is not there for me.

You can get god and well made without having to pay a fortune. I used a custom builder in Georgia that lets you choose nearly every option from material aluminum vs. steel with frame size and spacing along with riveted vs. 3M VHB sides/top, extra. I chose good bones 7-1/2’x16’ V-Nose, 12” OC floor, 16” OC walls & ceiling with 4lb. closed cell foam, with 9” extra height, ramp back and an RV lock side door; all for under $3.5k, pre-Covid. Given I got it without the interior as I’m a contractor send preferred to build the interior to suit.

Ultra light aluminum is for the win

Need a company that sells just the frame without finishing it all out. WAY* better to custom build how you want it.
