Enclosed trailer recommendation?
#31
Can you post a few pics of your trailer and the price you paid if you don't mind me/us asking/seeing?

Just confirmed the order last week, so no photo.
Stealth car carrier package
20 ft box + 3 ft v-nose. 8.5 wide which means 8’ inside width.3500 pound axles.
all aluminium, bonded sides, beaver tail -all standard. Option list here:
6 inches lower box than standard. So about 6’4” inside. I wanted aero maximized. Most on the lots are additional height, so 7-7.5 feet inside. They do this to haul atv’s. Most are also flat front. I get all tires and tools etc in the V. Also got tongue extended 12”. With a 20’ft trailer you’ll struggle to get proper tongue weight with a 911 as so heavy in the rear. Some guys back the car in, but then fancy driver side escape door is useless! Stacking tires etc in the v helps. As does a longer tongue. Also have spread axle, torsion suspension, driver side 9’ escape door, white Luan ceiling and walls, rear spoiler with loading lights, 6ft folding aluminium ramps, roof vent with max air cover. Couple other things don’t remember. The floor here is just standard wood, as I have coin flooring to add myself. I’m also adding e-track. These two options from factory were close to $4k. I’ll do for under $1k myself. Comes with steel wheels, which I’ll swap to aluminium from a current trailer of mine. Otherwise aluminum wheels add close to $1k. Charcoal colour. Price before tax in CDN is $29,280.

One of the benefits of having a square trailer ... i carry more stuff that i need including my Lincoln Mig welder which saved a few people in the paddocks on race weekends.
It fits two folding tables , four chairs , a 10x15 EZ up,a Honda generator, an air compressor , six fuel jugs , six mounted wheels , the other two go in the pickup with the BBQ, and my Yamaha Jog pit bike sits behind the car.
I wish it was 24 ft but it does the job and it serves for storage for my 89 911 during the Winter.I paid $11,000 for it about 8-9 years ago.The tire rack runs above the front hood of the car and i remove it once we're settled for the weekend.
The work bench came in quite handy for a lot of people as well ...
Cheers

Just like campers more doors/openings = more problems down the road. The 21' trailer that I rent often has that side door but now it is screwed closed. If you need that door go for it, but if not a necessity I would avoid it.

I’ve had four different trailers over 20 years of track days. Each one was compromised to keep price down. My 61st birthday in a couple days. I decided I don’t want to crawl out the window anymore, so this is my gift to myself. And then of course the options are more extensive than on a new Porsche. But getting back to your situation, if you are just down and back you only need to enter/exit the car a couple times. And if you have a big diesel truck you don’t need aluminium. You could cut costs. But what’s another 5-10k in the whole Porsche turbo scenario? And get the nice foldable aluminium ramps for $1200. Don’t be stacking lumber to load your 2-300k car!

I wouldn't be opposed to steel, like you mentioned, I have a newer 1 ton diesel to pull it, these trailers won't even make it blink. I haven't seen a single trailer in non-alum.
Still looking around to what is out there, I am not in a rush... yet.

Is it just me or does Rennlist have minnions that go through the forums and remove images on posts from non paying " official " members ?
From what i thought , this was a forum where the main goal is to help other members by either offering advice or posting pictures which can help !
I posted a picture of the inside of my trailer on post #34 and it appears the picture was removed ... not the first time it happens

The minions are everywhere...
FOT jacked up the price of the trailer I was looking at by $2000 randomly.
ATC hail damage trailer sold at Flaman I think, I don't see it online anymore...
