You might consider getting a toy hauler type trailer.
Pros:
you can live in it (self contained) TV, microwave, oven, etc.
you can really load it up on a long haul
you can use it for a second garage/storage
good place to sleep for out of town guests if you are short on room
perfect for camping and great when off road
Cons:
it will cost a lot more than a standard closed trailer
I have one because I do desert dirt bike riding in So Cal. A toy hauler has been a great investment for me and camping is a great way to see this fine country. You can get one for a steal right now.
Let us know what you get and how you like it.

I use my toy hauler as a second garage and have a dirt bike and Stinger buggy. It is a good idea to crack a window in the toy hauler if you store your bikes, ATVs, etc. because of the "possibility" of fuel fumes. I turn off the fuel switch and make sure the caps are tight on the tanks. That does the trick for me and it is not normal to smell gas. If I smell gas then I know I have a leak somewhere. If for any reason you have a gas smell that you can't air out, it might be a leak in your fueling station/system-that is not a good thing. If your rides leak or don't seal well, run them out of gas or remove the gas, before storage.
I can't wait for the So Cal desert riding season!

Looks like the others have summed it up pretty well. Whatever you end up with just make certain that you have enough vehicle to haul it with. I know that hauling stuff here in flat Ohio is a big difference from hauling stuff in the mountains. It's not just the engine that makes the difference. It's also the brakes and the weight of the vehicle that makes a difference in your controlling the trailer vs. the trailer controlling you. I learned a lot about hauling heavy stuff growing up on a farm and hauling boats on the great lakes.

My bike doesn't spend a lot of time on the trailer, usually just to winter storage and back, or the once a year trip to my friends shop for some upgrades, so I didn't want to have a dedicated trailer for it
so I got a 5 X 8 open trailer, drop ramp, plywood deck, and 15 inch wheels that I use for dump runs, getting mulch, etc too.
I have it set up with a Pingle removable chock, and my 6 tie down points are forged eye bolts into the structure of the trailer. I'm into it for about a thousand bucks.
