24' Trailer + golf cart?

Anyone hauling their car and a golf cart in a 24' trailer? I have a Plymouth Duster and trying to figure out if a golf cart would fit. I currently have a 4 wheeler I haul, but would like to get a golf cart, but not sure if it will even fit. Seems most guys I know that have a golf cart have 26 or 28' trailers.

Problem is .. they call trailer 24 and its not really .. that's outside dims + --

If you want to turn it sideways every time .. Maybe .. ? but , ? I Think J bob gets it done with a 26 ?

hello,
you need a 28 for golf cart

I ran 26' trailer with a cart and had 18" cabinets in the front but the car is small and it was full

I know several west coast racers that loaded there golf carts through the wider side doors with ramps, others would load them in the back of their pickup beds before hooking up the trailer
What length is the cart you want to use?
Measure three times and make sure it all fits before deciding

I had a 26' Pace Shadow, and a '72 cuda. Golf cart would go in the side door, but not enough room for car to fit. I had to haul the cart in the bed of the dually. A real PITA, especially concidering the truck was a 4 X 4. Load cart, hook up trailer, go to track, unload car, unhook trailer, go find some where to unload cart (2 people needed) go back to pit. Now worn out, soaking wet from sweat, but ready to race. After racing is done, can't load anything until wife is done with cart. Everyone else ready to leave, I'm still getting loaded. Move up to a 48' LQ trailer, every thing fits nice, life is good.

When I ordered my 24' trailer I had a ramp door added to the front left side. Golf cart fits perfectly and I can get it in and out with the car in the trailer.

Have you considered putting it in the box of your truck? Just a suggestion.

I have 24 ft trailer with 4ft side door , and I load my stock golf cart thru the side door it's tight but fits. can't be lifted or over sized tires. it works fine, also depends where the door was put in the trailer compaired to cabinets an front of the car etc.

I have a Duster.... and a golf cart.... I’m saying 28ft! (Which I have). This setup actually leaves juuust enough room between the two to roll out a bedroll and catch some sleep

If I ever get old I may upgrade from a 250 quad in my 26 foot trailer to an old man golf cart. Everything fits so nice now I would hate to change anything.

Just to throw this out there. Been racing since 1974, never had a golf cart, four wheeler, etc.. I take a bicycle to the track. I believe to stay active and able to race a person needs some exercise. Got a rack on the bicycle to haul a fuel jug, all I ever needed. Did have an electric scooter for a while, got tired of running the batteries down. I personally get tired of golf carts in the way trying to get back to my pit after a run and the car is hot. I also get tired of kids running around the pits in golf cars, had one kid run into my trailer with a golf cart. The few times I had trouble with the car, always had enough buddies to help me push it in the trailer, heck had total strangers help me push. I always prefer a big cooler to a golf cart any day. Just me.

I like this^^^^^^
A little wagon towed behind the bike for the gas jugs will work

Golf carts are 8 ft long

I haul my 69 Barracuda in a 24ft enclosed trailer with cabinets front and side and a tool box.

I don't see how I could get a golf cart in it.

I have a 24’ and with my 68 Barracuda fastback I have a bit over 6’ in front of the car. I have a 3’ bunk and a 3’ tool box.

Bunk

Maids day off!

The golf cart isn't for me, it's for my wife. She's 65 + years old and has had major back/neck/knee surgeries, and is diabetic. We race at Bristol as much as possible, pits almost entirely paved(read HOT, no where to hide from the heat), and over 1/2 mile each way from the pits to the staging lanes. I am very blessed that she still WANTS to go and help/support me me and my passion. If that means buying a 50K LQ trailer to haul her golf cart and have an air conditioned place to sleep in and to hide from the heat, then, that's what it will be. If I was going by myself every week, then an open trailer and a small cooler would do just fine. I don't hunt, fish or play cow pasture pool, I drag race. It's a way of life for us, and if a golf cart is all she wants, I consider that I'm one fortunate guy.

I love my bike at the track., I get alot of miles on it and it starts every time I want it to. Just put new tires on it. After 6 years I wore the original ones out. Bike is only used at the track, I get some miles on it.

Cart is great for the gang though, and when someone needs a tow.

I have a 24' trailer V Nose with work bench in the front. I had a gas golf cart that I turned sideways and hauled my FBody car with plenty of room. It takes a little while to get the cart in sideways but it worked just fine. My trailer is an 8' wide trailer and the golf cart had plenty of room. I had a lot of people ask how I did it and I would show them how simple it was.

I have used a golf cart for the last 15 yrs (and a Bike) last year I used a 4 Wheeler and next year I am going back to a Golf cart (and a Bike). As far as a 24 ft trailer and a golf cart it depends on the type of racing you do. All local close to home or travel where you may need to have room for other things. My old trailer was a 36ft Gooseneck (actual 28ft cargo floor) and to have the car weight over the trailer wheels there was 18-24in between the car and golf cart. Also consider the capacity of the trailer, Golf carts weight about 700 lbs,most of which will be added to the tongue weight and overall weight. A typical 24 ft trailer weighs in at 3000lbs, plus car weight, tools and a golf cart can add up quick and get you over the GVWR.
There are good thing to say about either a golf cart or 4 wheeler and even a bike.
In my case we push/pull the car to the lanes and back up the return road. The 4 wheeler was adequate for pushing but only seated one unless the other (crew of two plus me) was seated on the rack on the front. A golf cart can carry two and have room for other things safely. A bike can do neither (push nor pull a car) and we are too old to ride on the handle bars.
All that being said its still up to you but I think it will be tight.

I bought a new 7000 Lb. gross rated Pace 22 Ft. Shadow to tow with my old motor home, I was told by the salesman at the trailer dealership it would weigh 2900 lbs. empty with no options, he lied I picked it up at the Pace factory in Hurricane Utah and they weighed it before I took it home, it weighed a little over 4300 Lbs. with two strips of E track, two 48 inch Florniece (SP?) lights and one bench cabinet up front.
I bought it to haul my old street and strip Duster that weighed a little over 3000 Lbs. wet ready to drive, the trailer was illegal to use with that car in it
I upgraded the tires from C rated to D rated and ended up selling the trailer to another racer that had a 1967 BB Corvette S/S that he hauled in it, he ask me to buy it and I told him about the true empty weight

My 36' Gooseneck was 7300lbs dry (no cabinets, no generator.. nothing) that left 8300bs of cargo space, cabinets , generator, golf cart, misc necessities added up quick. wound up around 12600lbs

24' Haulmark w/ my '70 cuda and a golf cart parked in front. Drive the golf cart straight in from the back, up as far as possible, then the cuda fits, but it's tight. No problems though.
The golf cart is in the trailer in this pic...

Not sure why you guys like to play golf while racing.....but hey, to each their own I suppose....

You know the deal, their out cruising the pits checking out the chicks, fishing to see what they can catch

Actually more and more of the bracket races are having golf cart races as part of the program. Its actually a good time. Last one we ran was in Salt Lake and the pot was $4400!!

Mine is so my dad can go with me to the track. He can't do a whole lot of walking anymore. Need something to pull the car back to the trailer to read plugs too.

I have a 24' trailer with small side door, I use to load through end and spin the cart sideways with a floor jack up against my 2' work bench, gave me about 18'-6" for the car. Golf cart was a 1990 ezgo that I neatly sectioned 4" off the back fenders to facilitate spanning it.

I hear the guys with “pretty hair” really dig the golf carts with roofs on them. I guess it keeps the dew off the DEW.

I love it, a sleeping bunk and flat screen TV in a 24' trailer !

Put a 700cc quad engine in the golf cart, and then we can talk ! LOL

It is a bracket race, dial in deal. Race is to the 330' cone and there was a cart with a Busa engine in it at that raced. Plenty with the v twin swap too. Was won by a stock EZ Go gasser.

Cart with a Busa engine in it....I would start to play golf if I had THAT to drive around in, lol. I saw a clip of a "Busa cart" destroying a Porche...classic :-)

This thread went south quick....
"Hey I need some input….squirle.."
even though I participated.

A little late on the reply here..... Just saw the thread.

I have raced the last 5 years with a 28'. My car is a 68 Barracuda, and I was able to squeeze in my golf cart. My car has long wheelie bars, and a parachute so I have to load it a bit farther forward. My trailer has "L" shaped cabinets because of the generator box which does not allow me to load the golf cart in sideways.

I carried a foam pad and drove the cart up until it bottomed against the cabinet with the foam pad between. I could not put the rear seat on the cart, but carried it on top of the cabinets to the races. Everything was a tight fit. My first cart was a 48v Yamaha with a lift kit that allowed me to put the spare tire, and other things like the battery charger under the cart. It was heavy though so I have sold it and bought a gas powered one. I had a large roll around plastic storage container at the end of the L cabinet between the cart and the wall. My fuel jugs were in the very back of the trailer in another plastic storage bin between the 1/4 panel and the wall. Jacks, winch, battery ect were in the bottom cabinet. I use an old Onan RV generator and it is mounted in the generator box there would not have been room inside the trailer for any other type of portable generator. Everything was an extremely tight fit and had to be in just the right place. In a trailer without cabinets up front, you might be able to get away with a 26'. I have a friend with a 65 Coronet that ordered his 28' with cabinets on the sides so his cart would fit easier and he is very happy with it.

Since I run in NSS most of the racers are a bit older and we always seem to pit together. Showing up with a cart made things much easier for me and the ones pitted next to me. It was so popular with the wives that I often got calls to see if I was bringing "Barney" to the races. My first cart was Bright Purple with white seats LOL. They laughed and named it Barney the first day I showed up to the races with it....Then everyone wanted to use it. Since we are usually pitted very far away from the starting line and rest rooms, the cart has made racing much more fun for us older folks.

This year I have a new trailer that is a 32'. It should give me plenty of room for the cart and all my gear. I still have to move things over from the old trailer and do a test load, but the extra 4' should be great.

Somewhere on my hard drive I have some pics. If you want to see some let me know and I will dig them up.
