In the market for tandem car hauler trailer for hauling tractor. Looking for your experiences , pos and neg and what to look for and look out for. Requirements: To be used behind 1500 Suburban or 3/4 t pickup. Tractors will never be over 5000lb and my two are 4000 and 3800. (Naturally only one at a time) To and from shows , pulls etc. Also to be used for general cargo , antique implements , and maybe occasional wood haul. Am veering towards 18' and 7000 gvw , wood deck , two axle elect brakes. Price range $2000-$2500 new or very unused. Money is tight and this is just a hobby trailer , nothing I plan to make a living with or haul commercially with. Advice on things like frame construction mtls , type axles , low profile straight deck as apposed to higher deck w/beaver tail , lights , and general construction errors or "cheaps" to look out for. Thanks in advance for your opinions and experiences. Randy
