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.

Having had all 3 options over the years. Go with a van.
Maybe not a newer Transit, but definetly a van. There are older E-350 high tops with tall back doors out there. A standard height can work but your always bent over due to the low roof. The smaller enclosed trailers suffer the same lack of standing height inside.
