Howdy,
We're changing how we go to the track, and moving to an RV as a tow vehicle. But the RV won't tow an enclosed trailer, so we have to move back to an open trailer. Can someone recommend an open trailer that: * has a closed deck * has a rear beavertail * has room at the front for a decent size tirerack & toolbox, along with having a z28 on there and still able to get to good balance. * doesn't weigh too much ?? I need the closed deck so that I can haul lawnmowers, gravel, etc. when I'm not hauling a car. If it wasn't for that, I'd just get a new 18' econotrailer. Econotrailer does make closed deck trailers, but I'm not sure how the ramps work. If I can't control the width between the ramps, the closed deck still doesn't help me if I'm hauling tractors or whatever around. I also don't know if 18' is long enough for me to have a full width tire rack / toolbox at the front of the trailer. Anyway, if you folks have any recommendations, I'd love to hear them! Mark |

Howdy,
Yeah, the way we're leaning right now is an open rail trailer with 4'xwhatever sections that can drop into U channels welded on the inside of the rails to fill in the center section. Upside is that when I'm only towing the car, I can leave them out and save weight. Downside is its yet another project. I have plenty of projects. :-/ Mark |
