I'm trying to decide between getting a storage locker or a cargo trailer... in the event that I can't fit my entire life into my van. There are a few things I'll have a hard time parting with, mainly for sentimental reasons. Here are the pros and cons. Have I forgotten anything?
Storage locker
Pro - Not having to haul something. Better gas mileage.
Con - Monthly costs amounting to much more than the stuff is actually worth, over time, and if I want something I have to go back to point A to get it, which could be a long way away by the time I think I need it or have room for it in the van.
Cargo trailer
Pro - Having all my stuff with me and possibly another living space which would be my art studio and workspace for my online traveling retail business.
Con - The purchase price and registration. Having to haul something all the time just because I couldn't bring myself to get rid of it. More gas expense. Parking could be more difficult.
Your thoughts? I'd like to hear your opinions...
