I have a 38 goose trailer now that I have sold. I am going to go back to a tag due to how often i hook and unhook the trailer. I am going to buy a 32ft tag. My question is that I always take a atv with me to the track to tow my car. It always seems to be in the way to get to cabinets or load and unload the trailer. So i was thinking about getting a side ramp door to pull it in front of the car. Would i be better doing that or getting a v nose with the ramp on one front and just cabinets on one side.

I would just get the big side door(I think its 48")
and a ramp that you can stow under the door... JMO

ATC makes a drop down side ramp door with a smaller hinged rv door in the middle. Wish I had a pic but I think you get the picture.

If it will fit get the 48" door and a pair of 2x10's with the "ramp kit"

We did this for years with the first golf cart we had and it worked great.

If you're buying the trailer new look into getting the wider doulble side doors. Pretty much anything will fit through those

I had the double wide 60" doors and a nice set of ramps from Harbor Freight for $39 to load my golf cart in front of the Duster. I installed some extra floor mounts so the golf cart loads completely independent of the race car.

Best thing about it is you can load the car and all your gear up but still have your atv/golfcart available till your ready to leave the track.

I will never have cabinets across the front of a trailer again and lose the extra floor space. I would rather have them overhead on the passenger's side. A larger side door yes

Its nice that way... I have to pull my cart in first

some running around to do
