No actually it is to store the names of the small percentage of Canadians that like to be rude and inconsiderate to the People that live here in Baja.

Well, I lost I guess......I tried to sit on my hands.....but, here I go again......
Is your "spell checker" so wonderful? Why is it that it's so "fun" to pick on someone that may not do as well with the written word as 'you'
might....but, seems to always put his thoughts across, feelings across in a very kind and well thought out way that we (well, guess most of us
understand?) And find valuable........I find it very ugly that us "grown-ups" keep doing this silly hurting CRAP! BAD SPELLERS UNITE!!!!

I have a good utility trailer but I need something that I can lock up my things in when we travel. secure and dry is the important things.

Used enclosed cargo haulers
Bruce
If you have trouble finding an enclosed trailer, it's not because of your location necessarily. There's just not a big supply of used ones for sale
out there.
We casually watched the Trailer Trader, Recycler, and ebay for 3 months, and then diligently checked out all used trailer resources within 200 miles
of us for another 2 months in search of an enclosed cargo trailer- and nada.
We would have driven to Arizona from So Cal. if we'd found anything decent on ebay, but zip. Used trailers on ebay that were for sale in other parts
of the US were the same prices new ones. But price wasn't the problem in our area. People just never seemed to sell used, plain cargo haulers.
(there's lots of expensive Toy haulers tho).
We gave up and ordered a new one that we pick up tomorrow. It's a 6'x 10' Interstate brand.
Good luck

cargo trailer
The base price for the Interstate trailer is $2100.
We asked a few different dealers and the consensus was that this brand is made better than others we were considering, and would handle washboard
better.
This base price is $200 less other comparables, and way less than a Wells cargo. We researched the specs online and ordered the trailer on
the phone so we'll soon find out if it was foolish to buy it sight-unseen!
I'd forgotten that we decided on the 5' x 10' (not 6'x10' that I mentioned above) because our open utility trailer is 5ft wide and
tows like a breeze on the Hwy.
"Extras" that we got: (+$280)
- 6" height added to the stock 5'x10' size.
- 48" aluminum rock guard on the front
- stabilizer jacks to keep the trailer level when not on your hitch.
- it comes with a side door, and your choice for the back of either 2 cargo doors (our preference) or one big ramp-door which costs more.
Out the door price with tax etc, $2600.
Interstate has an informative website with the specs.

thanks that sounds pretty good . I'm still toying with the thought of having one built here for me it would be far cheaper but quite a bit heaver also
sense they don't work with the aluminum . I really want to keep the Waite down.

I don't recommend using
Home Depot Trailers anywhere in Baja, especially if you are going off road.
And no matter what kind you buy, it is good to have the same wheel width, rim size, and at least an extra leaf spring put in. They generally turn
the axle over as well for off road use.
I have made many trailer repairs down here and had mine fixed up for Baja. Took some Titanic props up to the Queen Mary on it and the next day it
was stolen.
