I'm looking to buy that trailer that meets all my needs. Currently I need an enclosed trailer to haul two ATV's. I'm looking at a 7x14 V-nose. I also want to be able to use it to sleep in. I'm not looking for a fancy RV style trailer, just something that maybe I can add an A/C to in the future and the V-nose will give me some extra space to put some cabinets. I'm trying to stay under $4,000 and it needs to have an RV style door. Any suggestions?

I'm kind of looking at a used 8.5x16 but it may be too high. It is a United Express Trailer that has an additional 12" roof lift. I'm hesitant because of the impact to my mileage. Will it hurt my mileage that much? I'm towing with a 3500 Ram Diesel???

Suggestions would be nice. Thanks.

Just wondering if you have found a trailer?

If not, you could look in the find a dealer section to find a dealer in your area.

Where are you located?

Dealers come across many used trailers.

This deal sounds correct for the year and size of trailer. I would ask to see pictures only to validate condition.

Yep, 102" wide. Sorry.

I have seen the trailer in person and it looks pretty good. I'm a bit concerned about the height and fuel mileage so I'm also looking at a 7x16 with a V nose.

V-nose trailers can be good for towing behind your truck. Seems they cut the wind well. Although I would recommend getting one with a front door that is large. Helps when trying to get thing tightly packed tward the front of the trailer.

Hope this helps.
