Default Enclosed trailer questions
Thinking about geting an enclosed trailer and looking for advice on what brands/manufactors are good. Anyone on this board have one they are happy with? Not looking for anything fancy. Just a simple 1 car trailer.

I'm very happy with my Vintage Outlaw. Had zero problems in 5 years of owning it, fit and finish is excellent, tows great. Whatever brand you choose, get the 5200lb axles instead of the standard 3500lb axles.

Make sure it has a 16 inch wheel and a real e rated 10 ply tire whatever you buy.

Storage spaces in the floor are a nice way to utilize unused space. Extra foot of height will make walking in a lot easier if you're tall. Don't bother with a drivers side door just put a winch in and pull the car in.

Check out Neo Trailers. All aluminum, reasonable, solid trailer. Love mine....I built the ramps inside so I could actually use the driver access door.

That's not a bad price at all. I will have to look at one of those one day when I get tired of the continental that I have now.

Can you get a double side door so you have a good 60 plus inch side opening? I like the idea of being able to put the gold cart/atv in thru the side that way. The continental I have now has a 48 inch door and a cart JUST fits in the side, be nice to have a double 30 inch door next go of it.

If you load it in from the side you can fit a cart/small atv in a 24 footer. Just have to have a wide enough side door and a ramp, fwiw

what width do you guys use? I know 8.5' is the standard width, but can a person move around the car in a 7.5' or 6'5 one?
