Default Gotta love this trailer: Trailex Enclosed

I've seen a lot of trailer threads recently. But just wanted to express how happy I am with this Trailex enclosed. I see a lot of my friends with 24' and 28' trailers and I definitely have trailer-envy when they pull out their massage chairs, ATVs, and esspresso machines. However, my trailex enclosed gets the job done and my wife lets me park it in my driveway... and I can tow it with my cayenne.

Widebody 993, three wheel sets (275 front / 315 rear), four fuel jugs, three chairs, ez up, camping table, jack and jack stands all fit without too much drama. Tools, spares, cooler, bike go in the cayenne.

I've been towing with this baby for three seasons now and couldn't be happier. Just packed up yesterday for the coming NASA race at Lightning and thought I'd share.

Very cool setup
Don't skimp on the lock/security, you're a sitting duck with the Porsche and racing logos!

^^^^ Agreed. finally got the Mad Mel vinyl off (only f'ing up the rear paint slightly). The porsche logo is next. Thinking about new vinyl, something along the lines of Zuffenhausen Septic Services

Oh, I see. I figured you included the ones on the car.

As you may recall, I too have a Trailex enclosed. I can only fit one set of wheels/tires on the rack as mine are much wider than yours. I also have to remove my front bumper and rear wing before I load the car. I consider these minor trade-offs.

My trailer weights 1600 pounds empty. The only "tip off" on the outside of my trailer is the license plate which reads "RSRHAUS." Of course it is not a real RSR...

I think these are great trailers for certain applications and have found that Trailex is very helpful and supportive.

Here is a pic that a pro photographer took, the first time I took mine to the track:
