Enclosed Cargo Trailers

[woodruffhunter]

I am looking for some direction and advice for enclosed trailers. I believe that your experience will likely help me more than a salesman.....

I plan to use the trailer for storing and hauling my UTV, along with tents and some gear. My UTV is a crew cab Kawasaki Teryx. I have used a flatbed trailer in the past, which has worked fine, but I like the idea of storing my UTV in an enclosed trailer (mostly in winter) when I am not using it.

A couple of questions I have are:

1- What length do you recommend?
2- Do you like/recommend the aluminum construction?
3- So you like having the side door entrance, is it worth it?
4- Have you upgraded the interior (floor coating)?

Is there anything you would change about the one you bought?

Would welcome your feedback....

Thank you!

I've got one that I use often and wouldn't be without. I bought it new in 2019. Its a 16' Charmac with 2-3500 lb axles. It easily hauls 2 4-wheelers and all my camping stuff. I camp in it quite a bit as well. Here are my answers to your questions:

1- What length do you recommend? 16'
2- Do you like/recommend the aluminum construction? I like the aluminum construction. Even fully loaded, it tows pretty easy with a standard gas pickup. Aluminum skin picks up a lot of dents when traveling on gravel roads.
3- So you like having the side door entrance, is it worth it? Definitely worth it. Great for fueling access and if you end up camping in it like I do.
4- Have you upgraded the interior (floor coating)? I didn't upgrade the floor but it would be a good idea. I have a carpet that I put in it that can be removed and cleaned.

If I did it again, I might look for a model with a wider box and the fender-wells inside. If I could keep the same amount of ground clearance, the extra width would be nice. The deck on mine is a bit high but I love the clearance. A ramp rear door with stabilizers is a must for loading ATVs. -------SS

The above post is spot on, 16 ft is the ticket with the side door ! The longer they are the bigger pain to get around !

SS: I like your setup and the advice you gave. I was thinking about the 16-foot length as well. Thanks

This Is What I'd Get!

Mine Does Have A Side/Man Door!

Mine Is Shorter Than The One In This Picture!

Interstate Trailers Are Perty Decent Quality!

The Ford will easily Pull The Bigger Longer Trailer!

Mine Is A Storage Shed For My Sleds & Other Misc BS!

You Better At Least Look At The Interstates!

Man, that looks like plumbing money; a little out of my budget
What is the length of your trailer?
That sounds like a great setup.
I am tired of pulling around a flat bed....
