trailer size
I now have a 20 ft trailer and am purchasing a new one. I would prfer a 22 over a 24 but does a 996 fit in a 22 ok when you have front cabinets and a scooter or is it just too tight?

Go 24!
I gotta say, all I wanted when I started shopping for a trailer was 20ft. EVERYONE who had "been there, done that" told me that I would soon want bigger, no doubt.
I ran into a decent deal on a 24ft. and drove all the way up to Pennsylvania to check it out...and bought it. It has half the front of it as a workbench with drawers, the other half a nice tire rack made out of 1.5" angle iron steel and bolted together, to the side and forward walls...I have since added another row below the original and left just enough space to carry three large Rubbermaid bins strapped under there, just nice and tidy.
I gotta tell ya, the extra 4ft. that I wasn't planning on is all but required now...and like others told me, I already want more.
It's nice to have the 4ft. and truth be told, I dunno how I could get along without it!
Besides, I think it may be difficult to find a 22ft. unit, although you may already have...the common sizes are 20ft./24ft./28ft...and so on, in 4ft. increments.
Good luck, tell us what you find!
SPRBXR - how did your trailer "acquisition" go this weekend??

28ft Pace Shadow GT 15000gvw 1 foot extra height, AC, alloys, aluminum interior, 4 foot ramp extension, spare tire compartment, drivers side door, tongue jack, dragster lift (I don't need it, but its there) $6500. here is the pic:

$6500!!???
OMG, what a deal! ...I'm jealous fer sure.
Good deal, all the way around with the GVW and options there's NO beating that one.
What does the "dragster lift" do?

It lifts the front end of a dragster/rail so you can put another car beneath it. The guy said it is also good for pulling engines. I guess if you didn't have a rear engined Porsche it would probably work fine.

Justin brought the trailer by my house yesterday and I was equally JEALOUS!
So jealous that I was looking for such a deal last night on the web!

Great seeing you yesterday. Nice place you have in NASCARland. Pretty cool your neighbor is a former Winston Cup champ. I bet he has some good stories about the old days.
