Once I'm finished with the CMC build, I'd like to free up my garage spot. I'm going to have to pay to store the trailer, so I figured I might as well get an enclosed trailer so I can just keep the car in it.
Anyone do it? Any concerns or problems? Thanks, Steve |

I've been going back and forth for a while now, but I've decided that I will be storing the car in the trailer. Maybe not all the time, but I want the option. Also, I'm thinking an enclosed trailer will be really nice to have while trails ring in bad weather, or even at the track at night.
I want a V nose for aerodynamic reasons. Is an 18 foot enough? My dad lives 40 minutes away from me and has empty garage space. If I'm storing the car for a while, I'm sure he won't mind if I leave the race car at his house, and trailer in in storage. That way the trailer will be stored empty most of the time. What's better do you think? Bigger and older? Or newer and smaller? I'm thinking an older 20' would probably be perfect. This post has been edited by Steve91T: Mar 27 2013, 02:46 PM |
