Young and Stupid needs advice from Old and Wise

Even if your young and wise you still have one up on me

Anyway, Ive come to a point where I'm running out of room in my apartment in terms of storage. Also, Since I got my little PlayToyota back up and running my entire family is now requesting its assistance for light yard work and light hauling.

So, to get the best of both world I started looking at an enclosed car trailer so I dont have to depend on others to get me back home, and a place to keep tools and other stuff.

At the most I would have my yoda in it (Tacoma SR5 2wd x-cab). so I was thinking something along the lines of a 16-20 foot trailer w/dual 3500 axels. with the 18 footer most likely being the best for me. . .I think.

But I know that going with a good used trailer would be the way to go.

anyway, I am looking for some advice as to what I need to look for, look out for, and things that would be a must have.

I looked at three different manufacturers; Pace, something hauler

, and another that escapes my mind

(I feel bad now

)

Impart some knowledge on a young pup before I make a mistake
