Seeking advice and purchase of a closed trailer
Seeking advice and any options for sale nearby to Phoenix for a 18-20 foot enclosed trailer to tow. I have used others trailers but never owned one. Need to make a trip to Texas to pick up a ton of parts and spares for my triumph plus a complete triumph spitfire in process and all the parts won't fit in anything less than 18 foot. Anyone have suggestions on a cost effective trailer or anyone in Phoenix that has one I can rent for a weekend?

Ron,
You might want to let your fellow club members who what you plan to tow it with to put their minds at ease.

Good point. Either my Toyota t100(about a 4000 lb limit) or my 2008 dodge sprinter Diesel

If you want to buy one and budget is less of concern, Pete Brock has a totally cool one!

If you can make a 14 footer work you are welcome to borrow mine, no charge. You can get the extra 4 foot from the bed of your truck

I'd suggest the sprinter over the T100 if you want to tow an enclosed trailer

Thanks DWRAT, I really appreciate it. I am getting a complete list of parts to see if the seller was meaning an 18 foot plus my truck or 14 plus truck. The sprinter will hold a lot more than the 8 foot bed of my truck.Yes I planned on the sprinter unless it was a open lighter trailer. It is almost 2 complete cars worth of Triumph gt6 and spitfire parts in Texas.

My trailer is low profile and I pull it with a Tacoma v-6 no problem.

It's a little bigger than what you're looking for but I have an enclosed 24' foot enclosed trailer for sale in Dallas, TX if you're interested. It's a 2013 model in great shape, I just don't use it the way I thought I would.

csx4910,
Good hunting.
But nothing's cooler than pulling a Cobra in an open trailer.

Ron, while light weight trailers might be fine when the weather is OK, bringing my black car back from Mo. was a pain. Coming across New Mexico we were bucking a 45 mph head wind that would swing left or right about 45 degrees at will. Had we been pulling a light weight trailer, it would have been blowing around like a sail. I was pulling an 18ft. Mighty Mover with a cobra and a bunch of spare parts in it. It didn't blow around at all.

You might want to consider a Serpent Express.
