Rich, this is local to me, but you may be able to find a dealer closer to you with a similar price. Nothing fancy, but spankin' new and has an escape door for under $15k

I did a bunch of looking myself and eventually ordered a CarMate trailer. 8.5 x 24 with escape door, rubber coin floor, white laminate walls and ceiling, aluminum wheels, 6,000 lb axles, e-track from to back. It is about $18,500 with these options. Looked at ATC, nice for sure but couldn't justify the extra $10-12K for the lighter weight since I'll probably only use it it 10-12 times per year.
Won't get it until April, but feel lucky at that. Others that I looked at were quoting 12-14 months delivery.

Ive been putting off buying a trailer for a few years but I followed the market and have noticed trailers have went up 50% in the last year. I am too cheap to pay the extra now so I am going to wait and see if the bottom falls out.

Cost of steel and aluminum accounts for a lot of that increase. Labor some too, as many manufacturers have had to raise wages to attract workers.
