So legitimate question on towing options, if anyone has experience across two or all options.

1) Ford Transit High Roof
2) 6x10 or 6x12 open utility trailer
3) 5x10 enclosed cargo trailer (specifically a Pace Outback 5x10)

I am debating getting one of the above next year. I am a huge fan of the Ford Transit, and I usually string up a hammock inside to save on costs. It would also be nice to legally be able to do more than 55MPH. However, the high purchase and operating costs has me leaning towards a 5x10 enclosed trailer. The open trailers are great for simplicity and visibility, but I worry about security when traveling/stopping at motels.

Any thoughts? Tow vehicle for the trailer would be a Subaru Outback.
