I want to get an enclosed trailer with a much higher GWR. The one I have has a 10K weight rating. Barely adequate for my needs. I want to get a triple GN with a 21K-24K rating or so, 35-40' I would say. I have outgrown my 24' bumper pull.

I use the trailer as a storage facility and as a mobile workshop and haul heavy.

Probably something like this one. 40' is the max I would go. I need to get through building alleys and such sometimes.

Thats what friends are for, to help you spend money, they call the trailers ''toy haulers'' with the garage at the back.........

Thats about right Gerry. Like any hobby/sport the sky is the limit on how much one can spend. Look at travel trailers. I have seen them cost 1/2 million dollars +

Really? That sounds like quite a lifestyle change. Travel the county and see the sites. That sounds like fun.
