I've not seen this topic addressed here before, so ... instruct me.
I want to ramp up my wood-scrounging ability, but I don't want to get a pickup. I have a mid-sized SUV, and I don't mind filling up the storage area with wood. It's not very convenient, and the amount I can haul that way is pretty limited. So I've begun thinking about buying a utility trailer. I already am set up with a hitch and towing package, because I haul a small camping trailer around. I'm looking at small trailers that will fold up for storage, because I really don't have a spot in my yard or driveway to keep a trailer all the time. I can find some room in the garage for a trailer that folds flat, however. Does anyone have something like this, and if so, what do you have? How does this little "Red Trailer" model look?

I would put a plywood sheet down as a floor, and I'd build those fence-type sides. Is a 1200 lb capacity going to limit me too much when it comes to hauling a bit of firewood?
What do you folks think?
