Enclosed Trailer Question
Is anyone out there towing their car in an enclosed trailer? If so what size? Is 20' or 24' best? I hope to not have to go above 24'? Thanks for the input.

I'm not doing so now, but I used a 20' trailer for a couple of years to haul my GT3. Overall length was 24', but the 20' body gave me plenty of room for a small workspace at the front.

I tow mine in a 24' Featherlite enclosed. Plenty of room for additional tires, tools, ets. I have the all aluminum options (floor and ramp) so the trailer weight is arond 3200 lbs. empty. I easily tow the loaded trailer with my Toyota Tundra. A 20' would accomodate the car, but the extra room of a 24' is well worth it.

thanks 58spster. Any regrets about not getting an escape door? Do you drive on or winch? how about extended ramp for such a low car? anything else you would advise on trailer decision?

Would also recommend the 24' version.
We have had our enclosed trailer, a 20' Wells Cargo, for over 10 years. The 20' works, but makes things tight when loading. We have a full rolling tool box that we put up front, a set of front cabinets, canopies, spare tires and wheels, jack, stands, etc and it all fits, but after all the use, we really would have liked a 24' enclosed instead.
The trailer will last a long time...go for the extra space, and no, we don't need the escape door at all, but get the full width trailer...every inch in width helps a lot.

A winch is certainly convenient assuming that you have a front tow hook on the car and is an option that I'm considerring installing. The escape door isn't a must. I climb in and out with relative ease and tow the car with driver window down anyway. I routinely load and unload by myself, so its a pretty simple proceedure.
Hope that helps.
