Hey guys, in a few weeks Ill be doing my big move from Tucson to Oak city, and am looking into trailers. I figure the options are...
To rent a uhaul 12x6, pull it with my truck and have the girlfriend drive her car, still at some point having to rent ANOTHER trailer to come back for my car
or
Buy a big boy utility trailer (around 18 foot) and throw her car, AND my tool box on it, along with whatever else fits.(those are the big items, her car is a tiny BMW 318 and my toolbox is a giant loaded snap on that has to weigh in at about 3/4 ton loaded im guessing. No i cant sell the toolbox, without the toolbox I will have no job )
Im considering a trailer like this

last time I moved from CT to AZ (little further I know...) it cost me about $2500 to ship my car, ship my toolbox, and buy a plane ticket.(company only gave me 4 days to get out here...) This time if im going to be spending that kind of money I figure I might as well be getting a trailer out of it.
When i first move there i will almost diffidently end up in an appt, wondering where anyone who lives in one stores there similar trailer? Also considering just buying the trailer, using it for the move and maybe one more trip in a few weeks, then selling it off ($2000 seems like a pretty good price)
Anyone have any input about storing a trailer in the city, or whether I should just fork over the money for rentals and avoid a big headache? Let me know, thanks!
