Great comments guys....I've got a feel for the pro's and con's now. Im thinking in my situation with one van already, I'll choose to get a trailer, so I dont have two business trucks setting around. I'll double my personal truck as a RV Tugger and a work trailer tugger...

How did you train your wife to split wood? Does she have a sister?

Nice trailer....is that a 7x14 V nose? or 7x12? I have a long bed quad cab HD2500 Dodge that I pull my RV with... I was going to trade for a short box

I think the truth is everything has its positives and negatives....backing up in tight spaces and such....but look at the room !!!

The trailer is listed as 7 x 12. But if you pull a tape from inside the v nose to the rear it's like 13' 8''.
As far as the wife spliting wood, if you beleve that. I have some land and a brige to sell you:grin:

Alright here's my responce to using a trailer. I actually use a 12' enclosed trailer with a side door and drop gate in the back, single axle. I'm in Florida so I dont have to worry about tight drive ways too often and hills and all. I rarely unhook my trailer and leave it on most times simply for advertising because if it's done right it's an eye catcher as a nice rig. My phone # is in red 8" lettering. As far as taking the 'ol lady' to dinner or getting groceries, i dont see how a box van solves that problem either. If you're using an hour a day to hook up and drop your trailer, may wanna think about why you're doing all that to begin with. My trailer cost $1500 and if I don't use it for a month there's no maintenance or insurance being paid. I actually take my truck and trailer to church so that I get all the advertisement time possible. Trailers are affordable, attention drawing, and very practical if used properly. If it's over head you're thinking about, a trailer beats a truck payment with insurance, and oil changes, and new tires, and old transmissions all day long, beleive me i got rid of 4 vans I thought I needed. If possile drop the trailer in eye sight of a major road way or or Big Orange or Wal-Mart parking lot.

Ha, no I not much of a movie buff, but that's funny....

Looked at a slightly used 6x12 today for $2500 but it wasnt tall enough for me....I'm thinking 7x12 with a 6ft 6in interior height (hate it when something knocks my ball cap off :))
