I have a CargoCraft trailer and I love it. Don't even know it's behind you when you're pulling it. I think it's a well made trailer and not a bad price.
I'm getting an enclosed trailer for my Streetglide. I'm looking at Vnose, 6x10. Price's in my area, Cape Cod, MA, are high, so I'm planning on driving 4 hours west to save at least $500. Any suggestions on brand or anything else? I was looking at Diamond Cargo and Arising trailers.
Thanks

I have a 7x12 HomeStead, love it. Perfect for two Touring bikes.
Key words, aluminum, torsion axle....I had an equivalent to a Diamond. Lots of cheap & dirty trailers coming out of southern Georgia. Aluminum is pretty expensive. Mine, was able to store inside the garage and it didn't see a lot of action. You get what you pay for. Starting at $3500 for a single. Do a little research and know the better built trailers are probably not the ones radially available on a trailer lot.
Homesteader EZ Rider is a very good trailer, Wells Fargo, & Hallmark.
I bought my V nose from this outfit about 7 years ago in MA. There are quite a few dealers in Maine and New Hampshire. Don't forget though, no matter where you buy it, you will pay sales tax to Duval and Co.
Here's what I can tell you. I have a 7X14 V-nose Haulmark. It will haul 2 dressers but they are close together and better be lashed down. Get the 8.5X16 (whatever make) trailer. You will need or find a need for the extra length and will bless yourself for the extra width. Also get wheel chocks like a condor. Makes loading and unloadind a single person event. Instead of D rings get "E" track installed. You will find the adjustability very handy. These options are what I have learned that will make life easy. Helmet cabinets or storage cabinets are a good option also. If you can get a used one buy it. You do not have to take the loss. Be patient and buy just once. Hope this helps. Oh, Tandom axle also.

Here's my current set up a 2012 Chevy Avalanche pulling a 2012 Stealth Trailer, I'm very happy with both.
But if money weren't a consideration and I used it more often I'd go with a Silver Eagle from Logan Coach, hands down the very best motorcycle trailer I've ever seen or owned. I wasn't getting a lot of use out it and someone made me an offer I couldn't refuse....have wished I did ever since. http://logancoach.com/silver-eagle/
