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 |

With an open trailer, if you're at the event, and it rains, you get wet. We have an open trailer, but it's short enough it fits nicely in a garage. Well, in a garage in an older house, anyway. I understand that most newer homes are significantly-restricted in the garage department. I know of a friend who bought a new house and his Impala SS wouldn't fit!
Anyway, our trailer fits in a garage, we've backed it into the garage, with the car on it, when we're not out at events. It was one of the sales points of this particular trailer. We've had it for nearly 15 years now. =8-O This trailer has the additional 'feature' of being open, so it works nicely for some under-car work. Changing tires, though is quite the hassle, so the car comes off the trailer for that. We now have a shop that's big enough we could park an enclosed trailer (or a Prevost RV with a slide-out 'garage'), and have considered that. It would be nice to have the dry accomodations, but we usually don't race when it rains anyway.

You'll be needing some creative packing to include a generator and air compressor. |
