Educate me on Trailers

[Chi Meson]

I thought I'd pull up this old thread rather than start a new one. We are about to get a trailer ourselves. I'm looking at a 6 x 8 or 6 x 10 being the largest possibility. We are also considering a 5 x 8 (which has a side door and drop-down rear).

Various points in the previous threads suggest that folks would go bigger if given another choice. We successfully took 2 robots to IRI (from New England) in a dinky 4 x 6 rented Uhaul, so the 5 x 8 would seem "spacious" by comparison.

However, when looking at about 40 lined-up robotics trailers at IRI, the 6x10, to 6x12 size seemed to be the overwhelming favorite.

Smaller size is easier to pull and is less likely to be over weight. It's $1200 less, too .

Larger size is...larger.

What would you do?
