Tom,
I don't know what others will suggest, but I'll tell you that, in my
opinion, you'll get along fine with, let's say, an eighteen-footer. Give
yourself a little workbench in front with wheel/tire storage underneath. It
will also allow you a little overhead storage on the trailer, which is
handy. On the other hand, if you buy a 30-footer, you'll find you will
barely have space for the car, once you buy the golf cart, tool chest and
pit bike. Trailers are like brief cases: your needs expand to fill the
space available.

Hi All,
You have all been so helpful in the past and I value your suggestions ...
so ...
I thought I'd poll the list here with a question on trailers. I've got a '67
Datsun roadster and was thinking about getting a small enclosed trailer to
haul it to events. I have an open single axle tilt bed right now.
The car is 13' long from tip to tail. I need to keep the size down so I can
keep it around the house and still leave room for the rest of the cars we
have in the family and also so the neighbors won't get all crazy about
having a big auto hauler in the neighborhood. I also thought that is would
be a good solution to freeing up one of my garage bays for other projects. I
thought a 16'x7' sounded like it might do the job. Don't need a lot of room
in the trailer for spares, tools, etc as the tow vehicle is a pickup with a
cap on it and all my junk goes in there. Any thoughts or am I spinning my
wheels here.
Thanks again
Tom P
