If you could argue that purchasing a trailer would be as cost-effective as, for example, renting a trailer, it may be a reasonable expense. You can inquire directly with the CRA regarding your specific situation.

That's what I was thinking too.
It would cost me about 6k to rent a trailer when I could purchase one for the same price. I will give them a call though.
Thank you both for the responses.
