Wondering if anyone around here has a connection on a 6x10 or 6x12 enclosed trailer that will fit in a a 7ft garage. So far all I am able to find is Haulmark's Low Hauler trailers which are pretty pricey at about $5k out the door for the 6x12 with stabilizer jacks and a roll up sun awning. Any help would be appreciated before I suck it up and put down that much cash. Thanks!

Understand the storage thing.
As to the Haulmark trailer. Used is best as its cheaper. Have you talked to some trailer shops if they have any used ones that would do what you need? If not have you asked those trailer shops how much it would be to have the new trailer customized to have a lower ceiling?

Ive contacted a few trailer manufactures and it basically ups the price by about $2k. From the avg of about $3k to being about $5k. I am also looking to get an awning on it for the summer....and for the rainy begining of the season. Fun fun....the extra cash is just mean no suspension work this winter.

Wow $2k to lower it? Glad I didn't consider raising the roof on the trail I bought a month ago (should be here shortly).
Well best of luck.

The awning and the levelling jacks are not money well spent, IMO. Better to spend that cash on your suspension work and then use a cheap ez-up for cover and scrap wood or empty fuel cans for trailer support.
A fancy feature-laden trailer can be cool, but if money is an issue and you rank trailer accessories above race bike suspension work then your priorities are whack.

Those 2 options add $400. Not close to the suspension work. Suspension work will happen...Just wait until tax return I think.

I wouldnt buy a low cieling trailer. You'll regret it. I'd do research on storing it. Call in favors with friends or something. A lowered trailer is a mistake too. Every driveway to a store or curb is going to grind the back of the trailer or your tongue jack if it hangs down at all.

The trailer itself isnt lowered. It is the roof line that is a lot lower. But thanks for the thought.
