28 ft is the smallest I would go with a car and a golfcart. With tool box, counter, etc even a 28ft will get tight. Buy the longest you can afford. I went from a 28ft for a 40ft triple axle goosneck and have could never go back to a 28ft now. I want a 53ft now, lol....so whatever size you buy you will always want bigger, lol.
My question to people with big trailers is how the hell do you secure them? I have a fear of buying a trailer then having it stolen by some *** clown. I would like to keep the car in the trailer because it would take up less garage space when sitting.
I have my trailer tongue locked with a lock thru the latch, and a dummy ball that's also locked in it, so there' 2 locks to deal with from that. And the camera that's overseeing the back yard doesn't hurt.
I like the camera idea. Think I might mount a sentry gun in the back yard!
It doesnt matter what size trailer you have, if someone wants to steal it bad enough they will. Locks just keep out the honest people. I also keep my trailer where no one can see it but I still lock mine in hopes it may slow someone down enough to get caught if they found to start with. My last backup is I have all my stuff insured for agreed value, trailer, tools, golfcart, generator, trailer contents, and my race car. It would still suck if it got stolen but atleast I will get alot of my money back and not just lose everything.

Verdad Gallardo I also have all the stuff in the trailer, etc insured for theftvor damage. Laugh at the camera but I am 100% sure it works, people see the flashing red dot, and walk away.... Seen it already. A lot of motion lights in the area also help... They know that they're in Plain sight at night. I work nights too, so someone is almost always home
Most trucks also should not be able to tow it. So at least you need a rig to get it out of there. If its large enough of a trailer. But that be in a interesting thought.
As others have stated I wouldnt consider less than a 28'. My trailer has 30' of trailer space with cabinets in the front. I was looking at trailers with living quarters and cargo area and ended up with a 48'. Everyone laughed at me for such a long trailer but I can comfortably sleep 4 and have room for my car and golf cart. I scored a good deal on this trailer, but if i had it to do over i would have bought a 52' just for the extra cargo room. I will post pictures later to give you an idea of space.
Thread is a little old but just want to put my .02 in as well. I got whats classified as a "28 foot" trailer with the vnose. it pulls really nicely, no complaints. It has the 54" side door and dual 6000lb axles 12v interior lighting. I'm putting a work bench and cabinets in the front vnose part this winter, maybe somehow figure a way to put a 5 drawer rolling tool car that slides in and secures to the bench so I can roll it out to the car at the track. I dont have a big racing program, just recreational so i dont have a golf cart that goes in with me, I really only got it to store the car and in case something brakes when I'm at a track a few hours from home I wont be stranded. Plus if you have to move, it sure as hell beats a uhaul or making 100 trips with a pickup LOL.
We have a 24 foot trailer, a golf cart and 73 Camaro with a parachute on back is tight but it fits. We have two of them with those rubber suspension axles. More room inside but a real pain when one breaks on the road. I will NEVER buy another one with those axles. http://www.dexteraxle.com/torflex_axles
