Front end is past the curb side door opening and have to squeeze through to tie the front down. Also barely room to work in front of the car (less than 3 ft) to work when tying it down. I bought a 28 ft when it came time to buy, as I wanted cabinets and tool box. Before I bought mine, I walked the pits at the winternationals and talked to lots of sportsman racers. Never talked to anyone that said they wished their trailer was smaller, but LOTS said they wished they'd bought bigger.

It is going to be pretty tight with my 67 and a cart. Make sure you think towards the future with your purchase as I sure did not. 1957 Chevy 1/2 ton [Email]13.07@101[/Email] 1967 Plymouth Belvedere Best Et(So far)10.88@124 with mufflers 1971 Plymouth Satellite [Email]12.70@108[/Email] 1993 Dodge Dakota 4x4 318

Texas is flat in some areas plus, has lots of medium sized hills .. When I go to Home to race like last year, Its 800 miles one way ..Tulsa for me was about 300 I had a 2500 2004 Hemi quad cab ..Not anywhere near enough truck to pull a enclosed safely plus, you go over the GVW and you can be stopped and given a fine for that ..And its not cheap although not pretty and not a desiel but it pulls nice. 3/4 ton ferd 460. im thinking about this for several reasons. one so i have a place to sleep and bathe at the track. i figured i could take a makeshift shower in it. and then i thought it would be a nice place to store one of our cars in if i need more shop space like when i rebiuld my sister in laws tranny, i can fit her car in my shop with the other cars but it makes working on anything really tough. thanks for the input guys mike Mine has a shower .. 5191967-2003_0101newtruck0803080017.JPG (69 downloads) The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6

I have been on the interstate many times & it does ok, but I'd rather have a longer wheel base truck. Car fits in trailer nicely. Have lots of room in front. I'm kinda tall so my next trailer will have a swing out door at the drivers door area so I can get into the car as I need. 5192121-car&trailer006.jpg (136 downloads) 2005 Dakota 4X4 3.7 2004 Rumble Bee 5.7 1978 Diplomat 318 1969 Satellite 318 "bracket racer" 1966 Barracuda (in progress ) 1964 Dodge 330 (future race project) 1962 Belvedere (HUM????)

You really should call your insurance agent and check with them about what trailer and what you are pulling it with cause IF Something was to happen, it might not be covered The lips of fools bring them strife, and their mouths invite a beating.Proverbs 18:6
