My hubby and I have two vehicles for work commute and do not intend to purchase a truck. I have a 2005 Honda CR-V. We are doing a house remodeling and I have been able to fit quite a bit in my CR-V. But we can use a vehicle for hauling stuff to the dump or bring home sheetrock, etc.

We are thinking about a trailer hoping that it will be sufficient. I don't know much about trailers and don't know what would be the best option for a remodeling project. I suppose we'll keep the trailer after the remodel just in case we may need to haul yard materials.

I've seen (online) foldable trailers from Harbor Freight for a couple hundred bucks, but I've also seen fully enclosed trailers that run for a few thousands.

For those who have experience with trailers, what type/size of trailer would be an adequate trailer for our use? Any inputs? Thank you in advance!

> If the scope of the project is going on for years that's another story

Hope not for years, but it will drag on for a while. We are still learning new things all the time, so I know it won't happen that we can just do a couple/few deliveries and be done with things. Plus, we do have a yard to redo after our remodel is complete.

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the HF foldable trailers.

Wow, it took me a while to digest the helpful information. I showed the thread to my husband too. Thanks to all of you for taking your time to share your thoughts!

Unfortunately, we live in an area that's not really urban (not far, but over a hill), so sometimes I find it hard to arrange pickup/delivery. But I think the trailer that we purchase will be used mainly for large sized yet fairly light weight construction/yard materials. And after having read some discussions, I think we should leave drywall hanging and taping to the professionals. It'll probably take us a while to shop for one. This thread is definitely educational for our trailer hunting. Thanks again!
