It is not their biggest trailer. I don't have a lot of stuff. I still live
with my parents. I could prolly move all my stuff in the bed and cab of my
truck but I have a big screen tv. Which is why I didn't go with the trailer
one size down. If it turns out I can't fit all my stuff in the trailer, I
have the bed of my truck. Not a big deal.

If all I need is the harness and a ball hitch to tow off my bumper, it
shouldn't cost me more than $50. Don't worry about going over to UHAUL for
me unless you really really want to. :) I plan on swinging by myself and
making sure that the people I will actually be renting from say what I have
is ok. According to the information on their website, The trailer I have in
mind needs a class 1, so they shouldn't be givin' me any lip about it.
