Default Re: Enclosed Trailer

Remember you have to haul and store the trailer also.
Trailers are measured from rear to tongue, so a 24' trailer has useable length of 20 feet. The V up front always measures about 4 ft.
A 20 footer is about right for an A (that is what I use).
A 24' trailer is a monster. But an A is a short car, and if you want to be able to haul anything larger than an A you will need a 24 footer.
You need to have a truck with the balls to do the hauling. So forget a 4-cyl Ranger.
Having a ramp door at the rear would be really nice; way better than the side-opening doors with separate ramps. Wish I had the ramp door.
Get the equalizer hitch, you won't be sorry; the trailer will be much more stable.
Get the best tie-down straps you can, forget the cheapo HF crap. Your baby is inside that trailer. I use straps from AW Direct
www.awdirect.com
They sell to the towing/hauling/recovery industry and their quality is excellent.
Get a set of Bearing Buddies (get the original brand) your friendly FLAPS has them and use them and never have a trailer bearing problem again
