I'm glad I own my trailer.

Figured out if your amortized per usage cost is less than U-Haul's rate
yet???

Easily.

The trailer was a couple of hundred bucks around 25 years ago. It
only gets better as time passes.

It's moved the contents of two households from one place to another.
It's made numerous trips hauling dirty things that I and others would
be loathe to put in our cars. It's made the transport of sheetgoods
possible. It's helped quite a bit with hauling lumber and firewood.

And it's available at a moments notice. At 9am or 9pm. Whichever.
And I don't have to deal with any self important fools or accounting
software that doesn't allow for correction of mistakes.
