bigger the better .. 24-26 would be the smallest Mine is 30 foot (Ps, IMO you should not pull a enclosed with less than a heavy duty 3/4 ton Diesel either ) **unless you live very close to track**

I agree with the 24' minimum Even that's a bit crowded with my 64 Fury in it. Also, at lest 10,000 lb rated.

id think in texas you could pull an enclosed 28 foot trailer with a 21 speed bike lol.
ive got the pickup covered, 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

"A" & "E" bodies do OK with a 24 ft trailer, but a longer car needs that 26 to 30 ft length.

We have a 68 Charger , 28 foot and really need 30 ft when you add the golf cart and work bench plus race car and parachute, cant see anything smaller than 28 and if you like taking things with you, you will run out of room. John

I pull my 69 Satellite with a short bed Ram & a 24 ft enclosed. 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.

Another thing of note .. 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
