LOL, everybody was admiring or making fun of me this weekend when I showed up with my big rig. Suggestions went from, "need a back up beeb, beeb, beeb", to needing a sticker with "Not for Hire".
But it pulls like a dream, don't even realize it's back there at 80 miles an hour, and now I can finally have a spare set of tires at the track.

Don't discount the right steel trailer either. I pull an open pit (no floor similar to the trailex) texas bragg trailer, heavier than a trailex, but lighter than a solid featherlite. One of the best towing trailers I have pulled. Before I had the truck, I use to pull it behind the Jeep without any issues at all with a 951 on it. Nice thing about an open pit trailer, is that if you need to do something under the car at the track, you can just pull it up on the trailer, and you have an instant lift 
Best $300 i have spent. Put on new LED lighting and apply a couple of cans of undercoating once a year and it looks fine. Of course, I pay $50 a month to store a $300 trailer, lol.

As Joe mentions above. Trailex is very much an open arrangement. I am finally getting around to selling my Motiv all aluminum trailer having to go enclosed for sleeping quarters. It is no longer economical to spend for lodging (although nothing beats pressed sheets) on race weekends. I had an older Trailex before I got this one and the Motiv tows better plus sits lower. My car is at RSR height and I can load it without scraping the front air dam.
Here's my new one:

See if you can find a cheap used steel trailer. Aluminum is nice but I don't think its worth the extra $$$ sometimes. You can get a good used steel trailer for $1500 if you keep your eyes open
Here's mine, picked it up from another rennlister actually

It's open, I need to be able to tow 2 cars. We'll be camping in there though at events. No more tents It doesn't have AC, yet.....
It was posted on the Internet. It's a good time to up-size because almost everyone is downsizing.

a light weight aluminum like Trailex is nice for towing but even nicer because you can horse it around by hand. I have a Trailex CT-7541 weighs weight ~850# I can move it around on the flats by myself fairly easily.
Down side of Trailex is the bed is a bit further off the ground than some others so the stock ramps need extension on low cars w/ aggressive spoilers, Race ramps or 2x12s work well.
