Re: Educate me on Trailers
We just purchased a Homestead brand trailer from a local dealer this year.

6'x10' Single Axle (No Brakes) and it uses a 2" ball so it can be towed by most SUV's, Trucks, or Vans.

We elected to get the rear ramp and the side door. The only other major option was we elected to go with the taller height so we could load a max height robot on a movers dolly without tipping it. This makes the trailer about 7'6" tall and consequently is about as much pain to park as a box truck when it comes to parking decks.

The school district bought it so it has local government plates as well.
