Looking for a decent utility trailer for our cabin to haul garbage, yard trimmings, etc. Ideally looking for single axle in the size range of 5x8 to 6x12 with solid sides and/or side stake pockets. Likely just hauling around light junk 99% of the time, but a 3500lbs axle would be nice in the event we want a to get a cord of firewood, or a yard of mulch.
Curious if anyone has a particular experience with the any of the major brands. From what I've seen, cheapest is Marlon trailers which look like pretty light duty construction. Suretrac seems to be of slightly heavier construction. Top of the range / heavy duty would be Snake River.
I've rented a few, and the steel trailers at Home Depot are actually pretty tough - same with the ones at U-Haul. Not sure which brand makes these.
Anyway, not opposed to buying new - but interested to hear if people have recommendations based on experience or if anything good comes up for sale (Vancouver area).
