Re: Enclosed Trailer Advice
There have been several LENGTHY treads on the issue of trailers (both enclosed as well as open). I'd start by searching the archives... -
Re: Enclosed Trailer Advice
Steve, I have been interested in an enclosed trailer myself.
There was a very interesting thread on this same subject, just last March of 2008. I think it had close to 40 posts.
I think this would be helpful.
Here's the link:

Been coverd but:
Anti Sway
Load Leveler/Weight distribution
Good spare tire with a way to change it.
The lighter the better.

5000# axles. This results in better wheel/tire load ratings and possibly larger brakes.
trailer weight plus car weight plus extra stuff typically results in more than a 7000# load (3500# axles)Comment

Re: Enclosed Trailer Advice
Steve,
Recently, I started a thread on this exact subject. I received some great advice which brought me to purchase a 24ft. Featherlite enclosed. I had just used it for the first time this weekend and I love it! As mentioned, use the archives and take notes. There is a lot of experience on this site. Good luck!

Re: Enclosed Trailer Advice
The complete trailer book sold by NCRS for $18 might have some good information. Listed on page 132 of issue #185. I found found their books excellent.

Re: Enclosed Trailer Advice
My suggestion is to buy a haulmark 18 or 20 foot car trailer. 18 will work though a little tight in the front.Comment
