for those of you who trailer your show cars to farther shows, what type of trailer do you use and what do you drive to haul it all.

thanks.

minimum 22' enclosed trailer, tow vehicle depends how much hauling your doing,
occassional close hauling a standard pickup will do.
with electric brakes,and stabilizers. add race/show equipment.

House and all. 8.1 L gas, 3000+ lb camper. 18" hitch extension so I have to watch the tongue weight. $1,600 slightly used steel 16 ft trailer. Fits with little room to spare. Made a wooden stone shield for the front.
Car's a good fun driver, Nice but no show quality paint, so I don't mind towing open. Besides, you get more looks that way.

open trailer = is like a big sign that says take me free !
the security alone is more that worth the price of an enclosed trailer.
wait for that hail store ..... to come rumbling thru with a open trailer.
good luck on you trailering, it is an expensive road. 69VETT
