We have a 1998 20ft Wells Cargo trailer. Bought it from the original owner who seldom used it (I think he told us 1,200 miles in 20+ years). Given its age we did all the necessary mechanical/safety upgrades (tires, brakes, bearings, breakaway box, etc). Then installed cabinets, upgraded lights (interior & exterior), installed a super winch & an electrical system that recharges the marine battery inside our cabinet from the tow vehicle. Electric tongue also.
No doubt new trailers look way nicer but if you find a solid, lightly used "used" trailer you will get great bang for the buck. Remember as long as the axles are straight and no rust, a trailer will last almost forever. Ours has a steel frame, steel structure and I think 5,200 axles.
Best,
Dave
