18 foot open trailer, electric brakes, cost $1800 2 years ago.

If I were to do it agein, I'd go with rear mounted ramps rather then side
mounted, sometimes there's just not room to get the ramps out. Also
try to get one with the lowist deck you can find, maybe even a ducktail.
It's a PITA to have to use wood to raise the ramps so the car woun't bottom
out...

your standard open single car trailor with brake controller should be around 1250-1500 new depending on where you buy. look for them used.

just make damn sure when you buy an enclosed tag trailer you buy one with 16" wheels....they handle so much better. Our tag has 16" wheels and it handles like my 40' gooseneck did.....

Actually, our pace is a piece of ****. Little stuff was falling apart just after we got it. It's definitely not the best quality, but you get what you pay for. It worked for us, but i'm sure it'll be much nicer this year in our big rig!

Steph's trailer last year was a Gold Rush gooseneck. VERY nice. Also very expensive. The left rear corner of the trailer got peeled back by an 18-wheeler going 55 MPH while Steph was on the side of the road changing a flat. Peeled back the top part of the left panel. At first, it looked like you could bend the sheet metal back by hand..... wrong. That thing is tough! A big dead blow hammer wouldn't even budge the bent sheet metal. That Gold Rush is definitely a nice trailer.

what do you guys think about a 12' or 16' tilt bed trailer(single axle)? Is it as bad as towing with a car dolly? I've seen some that say not to exceed 55mph, why is that so?

The reason is that my rex is not that long and heavy, so I figured, I can save money and go for a 12 footer tilt bed trailer(GVW 3,500lbs)

Don't get a single axle. They usualy don't have brakes and they will bounce all over the road and sometimes get out of control in windy situations.
Double axle
