First question is, how are you with towing? Have you any experience?
You may want to rent a u-haul trailer a couple of times, preferably a Sunday, and find an empty parking lot to get acquainted with the nuances of towing and backing a trailer. And get their biggest, its closest to the size of the small trailers you are considering.
If you are comfortable towing, then rent a small camper, there are rental agencies all around which have them available, usually for a price similar to a motel room in your area. You can try this a couple of times with different sized units to get an idea of what seems appropriately sized for your needs.
If it turns out you hate towing, go straight to a small motorhome, and thank god you didnt spend thousands on a trailer you wont use.
With the motorhome the box sizes are comparable to the trailers, so if a 20' trailer fit well, a 22-24 foot Motorhome likely will as well.
