I know this has been discussed quite a few times before but I have a couple brands that I haven't seen mentioned before and will see if anyone has knolwedge of them. First, my daughter is looking for a 7x14x61/2 enclosed trailer. Wants V nose, dual axle and 4 brakes. So far we have looked at Pace, Pro-Line, Haulmark, Homesteader, Lark, Car Hauler, and a couple other brands. Couldn't look at Wells Cargo since nearest dealer is 11/2 hours away. The Car Hauler was way above all the others in build quality but its price was also much higher so we decided to pass on it. We have settled on either Lark or Homesteader but Lark is the top choice. Strong points for the Lark are, full formed curved metal top with no seams and load range D radial tires. The Homesteader appears to have a marginally heavier frame and tire brand that at least I recognize. I'd appreciate any comments, good, bad, or otherwise, on Lark and Homesteader trailers.

No idea on the brands, but I'd opt for translucent roof on the trailer. I have one on my tool trailer (7x14- 7k) and it is very nice to have.

Any manufacturer can put a translucent roof on a trailer. I have no idea what it is made of. 5 years old and fine up to this point.

Semi-trailers it is a fiberglass roof, very durable and excellent for visibility inside, even at night if you are under a street light. You won't read by that street light but at least you will be able to see well enough not to trip and get hurt.
