Any trailer dealers here?

I have been toying around with the idea of opening a trailer company and would like to hear from someone who is in the business.

I am in e New Orleans area and there is a ton of trailers of all types that pass thru e area and no big dealers or service facilities. I have a few lots in the area available for lease that I could get a small shop put on. My idea is to have a trailer lot a small repair facility. (tires, hubs, lights and brakes etc) and a store front with hitch parts and towing equip.

I have contacted big Tex trailers and looking at featherlight and some others. But how do you know how much is enough inventory and what is the split between the manufacture and the dealer?

Lots of questions, if anyone has experience in this area I would love to bounce some questions off of ya
