Built a 16 Footer specifically to haul cars that sit super low to the ground a couple years ago. Designing and building another one that is 18' long now. I personally have no use for a enclosed trailer.

I thought the same thing. I pulled a 4X6 open trailer loaded with tires and tools and then moved up to a 5X8 enclosed with no problems until I lost a clutch autocrossing I now have 26FT enclosed trailer behind GMC K2500HD Duramax

I use to pull an enclosed 4'by5' trailer with tools, tires, etc. Now I use a receiver mounted tire rack.
If something goes wrong I have an 18' dovetailed open trailer with extended ramps, winch, and removable fender to haul me home.

Years ago when I use to switch tires at the track I towed a small trailer as far as Chicago to Memphis. Been driving the track car and making it home successfully up to a couple years ago. Now I'm really thinking about buying a trailer. Anyone use one of those Kwik Load tilting trailers? Links are broken here but video still works. http://www.kwikload.com/

This is what I ran for this years Drag Week. Worked great. Trailer holds my CCW drag pack, 10 gallons of gas/fuel, pop up canopy, tools, luggage and a 5 gallon jug of Meth. In the car you only notice a light tug when the trailer hits a bump. The box on the front is water tight too.
The trailer ball/mount is one-off for this specific car/trailer tongue height. It plugs into my car's parachute mount.
