My band uses a Wells Cargo trailer to haul about 2000 lbs of gear. It rides great, has sturdy construction and has held up very well over the 6 years we have been using it.
The big things we looked for was quality construction and the suspension design.
Good Luck,

The 2 choices above are high quality for sure.
I have a 20' Carson Racer trailer. I have had it 2 years and have towed several thousand miles with no problems. This is one of the cheaper enclosed trailers. Carson’s makes another enclosed model for a few hundred less than the Racer.
Nice features, last 4 feet of the trailer is angled down to avoid high centering when enter/exiting. Tall enough inside so I can stand in it at 6’6”. If you plan to take it to the races a side awning would be nice too.

Another awesome though expensive choice is Featherlite all aluminum light weight trailers.

Whatever enclosed trailer you decide on make sure you have plenty power to pull it. Aerodynamically these things tow like parachutes. With my power stroke Ford diesel I still get 11 to 12 mpg and fly up hills at 65mph and in AZ on the flats it will cruise at 75 legally. This is much better than my old big block Chevy dually at 55 mph, 7 mpg on the more expensive premium gas.
