Awesome way to store the trailer - was hoping I could do the same thng. The width of the trailer looks tight for the GT3. Do you have to use the winch to ensure that you align the car when loading?

Yes one the reason I bought this model is because I knew it would fit inside garage. I was surprised to see that it was a bit tight and yes I did use the winch to load the car. Great set up I'm really happy with it.

At the event it's nice to sit in, although it's to short to stand in.
You can also keep a extra set of tires and your basic tool in it all the time, you can keep you car in it if you want. Also the LED light are nice.
They are a bit pricey, around 20K.

mig7410, every Aerovault I've seen starts at around $30k. $20k sounds much more reasonable. Would you mind sharing where you were able to get an Aerovault for around $20k? Thanks in advance.

I think you need to take that wrap off of the fenders, its nice and shiny under there.. LOL. Awesome trailer, I was very impressed with the build quality when I seen it in person.

Can you explain how you managed to put the car on the trailer with the tongue next to the back wall ? Run me trough the steps. Thanks.

With the Futura trailer -you put it in garage empty (easy to do as it only weighs 1,500 lbs), then load the car. Also if you jack the front jack all the way up the front axel comes off the ground about 3/4" which essentially makes it move around like a single axle trailer when unloaded - which is an additional design plus.

Then you tilt the bed down to the ground, the fact that the back is on the ground holds the trailer in place - no hook up to vehicle needed. Then you can drive on or winch on the car. I can load my 3,800 lb Z/28 on the trailer without it being hooked up to anything as well.

Put trailer in down position

Winch car up and raise trailer bed up

I trail my GT3RS on an open Trailex with my base Cayenne.

Works a dream and the trailex is extremely stable.

No door issues.

I do use the small race ramps and a 2by4 under each ramp for loading.

No problems loading, consider the rennsport attachments, very easy on this model.

Good Luck!
