I have one of these.

Really like these.

Both are a little more aerodynamic than your average enclosed trailer.

I bought a cheapo 5x8 and realized that it was about 1" short with the wheel chock installed. Picked up a real nice 6x10 at HD (Home Depot) for under a grand. I use it for general purpose hauling mostly, but it's ready for an upcoming visit up north next month. I would have just ridden the bike, but I'm staying for a couple weeks to help my sister and BIL with their new house. Of course, the 'help' will be between rides! Can't see getting a 'sole purpose' bike trailer, but can easily justify the multi purpose trailer.

I had a Lowes landscaping trailer for a while. But because I have no place to store it I had to keep it in the garage. While I could fit both the car and the trailer in the garage, I then couldn't work at the work bench unless I moved them both out of the way. So I sold it and picked up a used 2 bike Kendon trailer. I invested in some Rustoleum primer and Safety Red paint and gave it a new finish. I then bought a whole new lighting setup from Harbor Freight for $49. Now I have a 'new' trailer that stands upright and out of the way in the garage for 1/2 the price of a new one. I've used in once to pull my Deuce and a buddy's EGUC. I really like the way the torsion bar axle handles the bumps.

If you get an enclosed trailer, put a jap sticker on the back ramp so no one steals it.

Haulmark 12' low hauler with tandem axles. I've had one for years, I travel from MI to TN a lot with it and have had absolutely zero problems with it. It's not a V nose and I dont believe you'll need one as its low already, out of the wind fo the most part. There is plenty of space behind the bikes after loading for gear and luggage storage. It tows great and rides smooth with its rubber ride axles. My friend and I will be taking it to Daytona this year for bike week.
