Mac, thank you so much for your reply.

I'm actually moving to Sun Valley -- in 7 days! We were going to rent a trailer to get our stuff out there but then I started thinking why rent? I should just buy one. I'll need it out there any way.

So, now I've got 7 days to buy a trailer and what I know about trailers would fit inside a thimble made for an elf. Since I last posted I've also found a couple of (what I think) are good deals on trailers that probably aren't as good quality as the Wells Cargo or the Featherlite but for what I need I'm wondering if they are going to be fine.

One is a Carry-On 5x8 enclosed for $1400 and $239 for the hitch incl installation. Here's a link to the specs Carry-On Trailer 5'x8' 2990 LB Enclosed Trailer

The other is this WorkSport trailer made by Pace American for Home Depot for $1800. This is a link to the page with all the specs 5x8 Cargo - WorkSport Trailer

I've got a limited budget - $2000 - so I think getting a larger trailer is oout of the question at the moment.

Any thoughts? Advice? Help?

Normally before I make a purchase like this I do a ton of research, grill salespeople, look at every option, compare prices, talk to people who own the item, make a list of pros and cons, consult my eight ball, sleep on it and then buy. But there's not time for all those shenanigans so I'm just hoping to get a decent price on a decent product.
