Still looking, hoping to find a good used trailer.
Be careful. 9 out of 10 times my customers get used trailers it ends up costing more than an new one. Bearings, brakes, and tires are the big ones. Tires alone are $100 each. Bearing and brakes per axle are about $150 to have done. Trailer tires usually never wear out, they time out. 5 years is about the max life of a trailer tire, especially todays bias tires. Get radials. Each tire will be marked with a build date, something like 0507. In the example I gave the tires would be made the 5th month 7th year, or May 2007.
