You will enjoy your trailer. A good investment.
Its one of the best things I ever bought. I use mine all the time.

Well, I guess that's one way of getting your Vette around without an engine in it.
Maybe you can drag it to the next QSL gathering.

I'm looking for a 2 car enclosed trailer now, so I can haul the family from point a to b without car pooling in two cars or one car and a truck pulling the other. I bought a new texas brag 20' open last year. Trying to decide if I want to spend$$$ on a enclosed. BTW I like the idea of hauling, if for nothing elde if it breaks away from home, I can still get it home!!

Oliver, I have one purchased as well. I should be able to pick it up in the next two weeks. I bought a Silver Better Built Trailer with a steel treadplate floor that is 16 feet flat with a 3 foot dovetail making it 19 feet long and 102" wide. I also opted for the extra brake axel. This way I have brakes on all four trailer wheels.
You might consider the extra length when buying to allow extra room for tool boxes, tires & wheels and maybe a four wheeler to run the pits with. Mine was only two hundred dollars more for the extra length over a 16 foot. It was $2100 plus tax, or if you are like me no tax with a farm tax exemption filing.
I just picked up a 6000 lb Warn Winch with a fairlead roller from a friend of mine for a song yesterday. It will have a receiver mount on the trailer to load and un-load with. I got it with all of the accessories for $350.00. It will be mobile on a receiver mounted aluminum plate and has a plug on it to access the power supply to fit the trailer or my truck and Jeep. I already have a Ramsey 8000# on the front of my Cherokee and would not be without one. This way I can hang the Warn on the back of the Jeep and be safe in either direction. lol jim
