1. Pick The Building Material

One way to narrow your search is to decide what you want the enclosed trailer to be made out of. Most models are built from aluminum or steel. Both materials offer unique advantages.

Aluminum enclosed trailers tend to be lighter, which can make towing them easier. Your tow vehicle's turn radius, stopping distance, and other aspects won't be as affected. You'll also spend less in gas to haul the enclosed trailer. Aluminum is also more immune to rust, which saves you money on rust-related maintenance and repairs.

Steel enclosed trailers tend to be more durable. They typically last longer and can better handle the hardships of the road, saving you money in overall repairs and extending the time before you need to replace the enclosed trailer. It's also easier to find a welder experienced with steel than it is to find a welder experienced with aluminum.

2. Pick The Outer Skin Thickness

Enclosed models can range in their outer skin thickness. The more affordable option is a thinner skin. The more durable option is a thicker skin. Think about how long you want your enclosed trailer to last and whether you'll be exposing it to tough weather conditions. It may be worthwhile for you to spend extra to get thicker outer skin.

3. Pick The Roof Shape

Finally, think about your ideal roof shape. Flat roofs tend to be the more budget-friendly choice, but they will tend to collect rainwater and debris more easily, which can create extra cleaning work for you.

Rounded roofs will allow rain and debris to more easily slide off, which can make upkeep a bit easier. The rounded style also results in a bit more interior height, which can make walking around inside the enclosed trailer more comfortable.
