24ft trailer question
24ft trailer question looking to outfit my trailer. what would you guys get. small 4wheeler or golfcart? also i have cabinets in the fron of the trailer. will a camaro and golf cart fit in a 24ft haulmark with cabinets?
what size generator? 1000w?
what size generator? 1000w?
It will be tight on a 24ft. The 2 24ft ones I have been around were death traps. Get a 28 ft and you can have cabinets and room for a 4 wheeler.
I cannot fit a cart in mine. I have a 24' with cabinets in the front. With the car in there, there is room for the generator and walking space, but not a golf cart.
Definately upgrade to a 28' if you are looking for a golf cart. I just bought a cheap pit bike, and that fits, but takes away the walk in room(It's the first thing that gets unloaded at the track).

If, you get a V nose 24 and don't have any cabinets that are on the floor (all overhead) you can barely squeeze an atv and the car in there, but it's really tight.
26 footer you can do it, but as others said a 28 makes everything easy.
I'm gonna be stuck buying a 24 because of the available space I have in my driveway, so the atv is gonna have to go in the back of the truck. Which, if I was a little guy would really suck to have ot load/unload alone. It is definately limiting my atv choices to a sport type atv, like a 400 size. big heavy 4wd one is definately out, I've loaded 400 size ones before alone with no ramps, not fun, but it's possible.

yeah i guess i might get like a little 80cc 4wheeler. i look like bozo the clown but it still will be fun. i just got the 24ft so getting a 28ft is out. anyone have some pictures of the inside of their trailers?
I have a 26' (biggest I could fit in the parking spot) with cabinets and a 250 ATV will fit, thats with the chute against the back door on a TA and the ATV touching the cabinet, there was enough room between the car to walk in between the car and ATV. If you swing the ATV 90 degrees you will have more room but thats a PITA. A 24' with no chute would be tight but doable with a smaller ATV I would think if the cabinets werent too deep.
As far as a golf cart no way one would fit in this 26 or even a 24 with no cabinets. I really wanted a golf cart, it will even be tight with a 28' and a 4th gen with a chute if you have cabinets of any kind.

KP, you might be able to help with this, if I did a 24 footer with a V nose, and had a ramp/door on the front that was 1/2 the V, or take the side door, and make it a ramp, and wide enough for an ATV would it fit in easy if you could drive it in sideways?
I have been looking at alot of trailers, and was thinking about a 24 foot V nose, put a triangular cabinet in the front with the generator underneath that, have a hook in the floor to hook up a removable winch to drag the car in and out, but the side door, if I made it say 5 feet wide an atc could be driven in and out the side that way, making alot more room for the car yes?
I was thinking overhead cabinets the entire lenth of the trailer on one side too and on just in the V portion on the front, this way to not take up any more floor space then I absolutely had to.
I was also going to, if possible make a small cabinet in the front corner for 2 mother bottles of nitrous so I can refill right at the track, sell a little bit too to try to recoup the filling station eventually.
I've never seen a trailer with a ramp/door on the side like I'm describing, but with an atv like the size you're talking (or a 400 cc sport atv) would fit sideways no problem lenth wise, then there wouldn't be the hassle of trying to spin it around.
Car will have a chute and probably wheelie bars on it, but I had planned on making them removable with pins to take them on and off quickly/easily.
Thoughts?

Its going to be tough to get all that stuff in a 24 foot V-nose no matter how you do the side door but its possible - just be a little cramped..
Even though it looks like the ATV would easily fit in mine sideways I would have to move the fuel jugs and canopy somewhere else. Like I said above no matter what you buy you always wish it was a just a couple feet longer. Its best to take a tape measure and hit a trailer dealer, V-nose measurements can get a little confusing.
JL, they have those V-noses with a front door all over the place up here. They're for snowmobiles, and usually have shitty axles. I have a couple buddies that have them. They are not all they're cracked up to be. They way they tell me, 24' is from the front of the V. You will be losing a ton of cargo space. Like said, I would look for one with a 48" door--that should let you get the wheeler in through the front.
Sounds like for a V noce I'd have to go to a 26 or 28, I would have thought that the V was on top of the regular 24 foot lenth. Sounds like the V nose probably is out, this trailer will be the last one I buy ( yeah I know everyone says that, but I mean it, 10 to 15 track trips a year is all I do, so it will probably last me a LONG *** time if I take care of it, which I'm pretty good about doing)
I'm still shopping around, have a while before I buy anything at this point.
KP, I was gonna get a roll up awning on the side with the door, that way I could just take the atv in and out that side and it shouldn't be that cramped, usually people can park next to the trailer everywhere I go.
I'll have to make sure the door is 48 or maybe even go to the next size up from that just to be safe. I'd like to be able to load the car, strap it down, then put the atv in. Having a roll up awning on the side saves the hassle of the pop up tent too.
Strait 26 looks like what I probably need at this point.

I had a 24' Pace Shadow GT that was really nice. It had dual 5200 lb axles, interior lighting, wired up for a generator. The thing was absolute quality for a good price. The only drawback was the 40" door. My wheeler was just a RCH too big to fit. With all the stuff you'll be taking to the track, you need the big axles, so that's what I would look for first.
They're on the list of things that are a must. That, and I was seriously considering adding another foot of roof height, the overhead cabinets woudl be a good bit taller/hold more stuff if I take that route (along the top of one side, about 10 to 12 inches deep I was thinking) which would give me plenty of storage, that and a small workbench on the front, with a full helgith closet type cabinet with teh mother bottle mounts in one corner.
Another trailer question... can/does anyoen make a regular square trailer, but rather then mounting the generator in the interior cabinets, mount it in say a diamond box on the front where the tougue is? Sure would free up some space that way...

you could look into a goose neck then the area up top in the front you can use for storing whatever you need its a big area big enough to for anything you'd need. **** you could put a compressor up there. and then you'd just need to worry about room for the car and atv
I would, but I have never seen a 24 foot trailer with a gooseneck. That, and I dunno if I have room for that, as it would be a solid 4+ feet longer then the regular 24 footer.
I just bought a 3/4 ton diesel pickup so I have the capacity for that type of thing.. but I am not sure if I want to get into something that big. I know it would tow a TON better, but we're talking a shitload more $ to get into something like that.

Yeah, I was thinking about that too. I don't think I want that big thing in the middle of the bed... I still use teh truck for other stuff too often to want to deal with that.
Good to hear, that's what I was thinking, build a diamond plate box on the front and put the generator in there, and it would make it easier to fuel up the tank for it, less noise in the trailer too.
