24' enclosed CargoMate here. Best 6K I ever spent. Car and all the crap that goes with it has it's own space. I bought it new in 2002 for like $6,100 bucks. It's great for moving really anything. Roll it in and shut the door. Tires are a pain in the ass. Hate when they blow up. I carry two spares and used 'em both coming back from Seattle this year.

Yes it is very nice to have a MH at the races, especially having a clean bathroom and shower to use.

I bought this in 2002 and it was used with 4400 miles on it and about 4 months old. It was sold new with a 51' wideside mini semi and both were custom painted red. I only bought the toterhome from Don Pedon who sold it new to someone in west virgina. Someone else got the 51' trailer as I already had the 49' gold rush. The original owner traded it back in for a diesel pusher and a stacker trailer and Don sold me the toterhome. I saw it when it was new fresh back from the paint shop at Dons place months earlier.

I bought it used sight unseen and was delivered to me at Indy during a NHRA race there. I saw the rig when it was new, just did not look at it a second time before agreeing to buy it from Don.

It has a $10,000 optional Cat motor in it that makes 505Hp and 1550 torque with a double overdrive full auto trans. Air ride and long WB rides really nice. This why I have not sold it or traded in for something bigger, awesome truck to drive.

It will get double digit fuel mileage pulling a open trailer and got way better mileage than my 454 dually with 4:56 gears pulling my 49' trailer. I haul everything including 2 kitchen sinks, one in the trailer and one in the toterhome. Also has 125 gals fresh water and the grey and black holding tanks, 8K diesel genset that runs off the 200 gallons of diesel road fuel we carry. Inverter, 2 TVs and much more. My wife and I have been traveling in it for 10 years now strictly for vacations now. We live in it full time for up to 2 weeks at a time while on the road. She has traveled all the way to Sacramento without getting out of the truck for 3 days. Neither of us has used a public bathroom in over 10 years while traveling. I pull our open trailer all over the country up to 85mph and you don't even notice the trailer back there because the truck was built to haul lots more.

Been to all these states with it now, 37 of them always pulling a trailer.We added Arkansas 2 weeks ago when we when to Branson Mo.

I wish I can still use a towbar... Race car is full of all expensive race crap.my next race car is going to be user friendly from a stick trans to street tires...

Nothing wrong with them If I had room for it I would still have mine. i towed all over with mine including the Mopar Nats in 92. I upgraded to an enclosed back in 2000 and its the best thing I ever did. My D150 and Dart both fit in it ( not at same time) and one stays in for the winter as its another garage. An enclosed is great for traveling as everything is locked up and dry if it rains. At my local track we have reserved parking/ pit spots many guys including myself leave our cars/ trailers at the track for the season having the enclosed everything is locked up tight and I dont have to tow back and forth every week.I know a few guys that dont have space at home for their enclosed trailers, they leave them at the track year round and use their open to take the car home when they need to.

I started with a tow bar. Borrowed a friend's trailer one day, that was it, I had to have a trailer. Bought a homemade open trailer in 1979 and still have it. Pulled it with whatever pick up or Suburban thing I had at the time. I always wanted an enclosed trailer, if for nothing else, to have a place to get out of the weather at the track. Maybe one of these days........

I know a guy who used to take his restored show cars to the Mopars at the Strip, and other car events on the west coast with an enclosed trailer. He had people attempt to steal both the truck and trailer from the hotel parking lot, and on another occasion they got the trailer unhooked from the truck and pushed back a couple feet before giving up and leaving it there without finishing the task. Enclosed car trailers all look the same to Joe Public so driving off in a casual manner with one that you just stole is probably pretty easy to do. Act like it's yours and nobody suspects any different.

I remember going to the racetrack with relatives when I was little and nobody but the jet cars and alcohol funny cars had enclosed trailers. It was cool to see all the working class guy's race cars on open trailers lined up at the gate. This is back when most dedicated drag cars had unique names painted on the sides, and before you could buy a fiberglass cowl induction hood for any Mopar car.

My first tow vehicle (72 Cutlass Supreme Coupe) and my 500.00 open trailer

Then I found a nice 1976 Dodge van and pulled the 318 and built a very nice 360 with some slightly modified 340 heads, LD340, after market cam, 650 double pump carb, and some headers. I finally had a nice bed to sleep in at the track and more than enough power to get there.

Punching way above your weight Pittsburgh

Duster looks so tuff behind the Dodge van.

My race car insurance requires an enclosed trailer.

Not everyone has the space for an enclosed trailer...
Ive for a good friend that's had an open trailer for 20 years, that I never knew he had....
It's covered up under a tree at his house. No room for a big enclosed trailer...
Also not everyone is a big time racer, some tools, cans of race has and a few supplies is all that may be needed.

I do not race as much as many of you. I have an open trailer & most tracks I go to are within 75 miles. That being said, the next trailer i buy will be an enclosed. They are much more convenient for storage of cars,tools,etc. and I'm getting where i don't like spending the extra time loading and unloading the truck & trailer. However, I won't be buying a six figure motor home to tow it
