It all depends on the money, 1st choice enclosed van because no one rentsa long enough trailer, it would also allow youi to move other things at the same time. 2nd choice would be a flatbed trailer would also allow you to move a few other things but watch out for the false ribs, they are very fragile. 3rd choice is the boat trailer, it will be the cheapest but be honest with yourself, do you have time to modify the trailer to safely transport the plane, I used a flat bed trailer towing my Avid put it tail first and strapped downby the wheels, I already had it as it is the most useful trailer for a person that likes to build things that are too big to fit in a pickup truck. It would also be easy to resell once you reach your destination but once you have it you will not want to let go of it.

Subject: Kitfox-List: Trailering advice
From: "mscotter" <mscotter(at)comcast.net>
Hi guys, interested in your advice for moving my kitfox project. I am getting ready
to move down to Winston-Salem, NC from Elkton, MD. I have a model IV project
that I wish to take with me. The fuselage is covered and on the gear, the
wings are assembled but not mounted on the fuse, and the engine is hung on the
fuse. Horizontal stabilizer is not installed and of course I have a few boxes
of various things.
I am wondering if it would be best to find a used boat trailer and modify it, or
if a simple flat-deck trailer (like landscapers use) would be best. I have
little time, about a week and a half, before I have to leave. I should have started
on this a while ago, but getting ready to sell my house took up all my time.
I've found a few different trailers for sale locally on Craigslist, and have access
to a small mig welder if I need to make modifications. I'm interested in
your thoughts of what would be most efficient in terms of time and cost while
keeping my project safe for a 7 hour road trip. Thanks for your help.

I moved my RV-4 from Georgia to Michigan. It fit in a 26' UHaul with the wings
and horizontal stabilizer removed.
It was nice being inside and protected from the rain, wind, road trash, etc during
the move.
