Tell me Tell me !!!!

I may go shopping for the flat trailer this weekend or during next week.
My tear plans are for either 4x8 or 5x8. I don't really think I'll go to 10'.

I have a 4 cyl 2001 Honda Accord to tow it with. Right now, I'm thinking trips to lakes and festivals... and yes Colorado or thru the Smoky Mtns but not off road kinda thing.

I am in OKC and we have a Harbor Freight and Tractor Supply and someone told me even Home Depot sells flat trailers.

Since you can't go with me, can you tell me in a nutshell what I should really concentrate on and what to look for/ ask. Of course , I'll need a hitch put on too and want to pick it up and ready to drive off.

And also... is a 5x8 too box-y as a tear drop? I plan on a simple galley, some elec but nothing too elaborate and this is to sleep one, possible two for now. I'm not a big woman but not little and petite either!

Thanks guys!!!

Julie

How many will be using the trailer? One or 2? If just one, I'd say go with a 4x8 If not, then a simplified 5x10. You should try to keep it light since you are towing with a 4cyl Accord. I really haven't seen a (or noticed) a 5x8.
