I used to have a 6.5ft X 16ft landscaping trailer for my business and I
would say the trailer could have been 2ft shorter comfortably. I never used
the doors, just stepped over the TR3A's low door line.
However, I also bought a used 6X13ft trailer that had been custom built for
a friend who also has a TR3A. The TR is 12ft 7ins, so I thought a 13
footer was perfect. I was wrong. I could not stop the vehicle from shifting
forwards or backwards and I concluded that it was because the tie-downs were
too "vertical", allowing them to swing on an axis. I've learned the more
horizontal the tie-downs, the better. I now have a 20ft landscaping trailer,
again for my business but I have to say I feel even safer transporting the TR
on it because the chains (which is what I choose to use to tie it down)
are almost parallel with the trailer's bed.
Hope that helps;
Tim
I have a 14x6 that works great for my TR3, jest be careful opening the
doors.

Subject: [TR] Towing a TR
What is the best size open trailer for towing a TR? I am looking at a
featherlite 3110 which is 14 ft, but is that too short? Unfortunately, I
don't have the trailer to test.
Thanks,
