Enclosed Trailer
« on: June 11, 2015 - 06:19:34 PM »
What's a good size enclosed trailer for an E Body?  Need a little wiggle room.

Any experience or suggestions is appreciated.

Had a 24' a lot of room for the Cuda , front bench was 3' deep by 38" high and across the whole front.

22' should be plenty, but it depends on what you want to put in it...

I don't know the length, but a buddy bought a new Concession style trailer and told them where to place the side opening.  He drives his Challenger in, opens the door completely and steps out.  :D

22' seems to be the absolute minimum.  I think my 73 Challenger is 19' bumper guard to bumper guard.  24' is nicer so you have room to maneuver and connect the tie downs.

24 feet should be just about right.    :2cents:

24ft is perfect. Plenty of room in front for parts, etc. Also with the extra room you can adjust the car forward or back for best towing. Some lighter tow vehicles are more tongue weight sensitive.

How about the width?  Looks like 7' would be bare minimum.

Go with a 102" wide ,  that half a foot makes a big difference....
