Default Opinions on Cargo Trailers

I'm looking to buy a cargo trailer to store/transport my motorcycle in. I have the size picked out but I'm torn on what brand to choose. Anyone have any info? Thanks

I've got a tandem axle Timberwolf 18x8.5 low profile. I've had it about 5 years now. Holding up well and no problems so far. It's been towed over 10,000 miles. I use it striclty for towing the bikes. Good looking trailer too.

I have a Haulmark 24' for my race car. I think I probably got what I paid for. My decision was based on cost for a specific set of options (chrome pkg, 10k axles, longer tongue), and availability. I lucked out with a "leftover" that had a pre-price increase build date but was a brand new model.
I saved money by picking it up at the factory, but I'd reconsider spending the extra to get it from a local dealer next time. There were some cosmetic issues I ended up fixing myself that would've been covered under warranty. But since I picked up from factory, I needed to return it there for service...500 miles away.
Thanks,
Michael

Get a bigger trailer than you think you will need. Trust me. It will be full of stuff you never thought of.

many brands have basic price point trailers and medium/loaded models. I'd look for the certrification (the biggies have it) and a comprehensive warranty- many offer 3/5 yr warranties. I've bought 4 "last trailer I'm going to buy- this one's perfect" in the last 4 yrs. 1st one was a POS that dissintgrated in 9 months of hwy use- they fixed it all under warranty but I realized it was just a light/lousy design even though I was hauling 2k under capacity. Sold it to a bud who used it for storage and local use only.

Every region has some strong local manufacturers
