I am looking to get a trailer for a couple of reasons. So far I have been working out of the bed of my truck with a portable unity and I am quickly running out of room. I really dislike loading and unloading my equipment in the bed of my truck at the start and end of the day. I wish I had gone with a trailer mounted skid to begin with.
Last week I learned the hard way I would like to have a float tank, probably 30 gallons. I would also like to have a 50 or 60 gallon chemical tank for roofs which I would drive with it empty or nearly empty. In the future I am planning on purchasing a hot box but that is down the road.
I am currently using a 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 V8
With what I immediately plan to put on the trailer, I am looking at around 1000 lbs with tanks fully loaded. As I said, I am not planning on riding with full tanks. I guess I am looking for a 2000 lb capacity trailer. I have seen a couple at Northern Tool, Tractor Supply and other similar places.
I have looked on Craigslist but the ones I have found are either too big, cheap homebuilts that will not work, or the poster is asking way too much money.
Any thoughts or opinions about where to find a good trailer, what to look for, etc?
