anyone have or heard or had expereence with one and what do you think--24' enclosed, 2006 model, nice shape, thanks for comments.

 

many of us in the auto-x and road race section have pace trailers.

Great trailer, one of the best

next question is what is your tow vehicle ?

 

I currently have 1/2 ton chevy ext cab/short bed with 5.7 and 3.42 rear. won't tow all that much, maybe 2 times a year, mostly for car storage at this time. Truck towed my old (sold in 2000, wish i hadn't) 1990 20' well cargo fine even with 7500lbs when loaded with car and stuff. How do you rate Pace against Wells Cargo?? thanks for advice, oh, what would be a fair price for a 2006 model in great shape??? thanks again.

 

pace is the Car hauler that other trailers measure against

Depending on the options the trailer has. Prices can very a few grand. Could be looking at $4K to $6K. Pace trailers tend to hold their value

Here are some used 24' trailer prices on racejunk dot com to give you an idea http://www.racingjunk.com/search?sea...ategoryId1=146

With a 1500 short box, may I suggest a anti-sway hitch to help too.
also I run slightly lower trailer air pressure. 45 rear two tires, and 42 front two tires.


Mine is a 2003 Pace Pursuit bought it spring of 05 for $5300 - had someone recently offer me $4K for it

 

A U NGL, Did you make up those ramp extentions,(Very Nice) or did the trailer come that way? Great for getting these lower cars up into the trailer. Also, do you winch in/out?

 

Fold mirrors in and drive in, crawl out drivers window'

Ramp extensions are Pit Products http://pitproducts.com/

 

rubber floor stops



t-hooks to put into frame rails, & 7,500 lb ratchet straps





Spare wheel carrier




ramps folder and secure

I've toyed with the idea of getting a Pace Race Trailer with living quarters. It will cover several needs.

What is the smallest garage length I can get to allow for also trailering my vette? 18' garage section? 20' garage section?

 

20' garage could do it, but you soon find that is TOO SMALL. min 24' for car and gunk and I am finding that 28' min would be better for racing.

Looking at a 44' goose now

then you are also looking at a 1 ton pick up to haul

 

Thanks...

I got a one ton dually Dodge, but was hoping to keep the trailer to a 40' goose neck. That would be easier to get into camping grounds when I take my cross country trip with just a Harley in the garage (retirement present to myself in 18 months, 6 days, 10 hours).

 

Can you find one with a smaller LQ?

a 20' would work with some storage shelves above the car.

 

I have a year before I buy it.

Thanks for the info, you gave me several things to look at/ think about...

 

good Luck

 

Buy a white trailer. Black or dark colored trailers are cool looking, but can get very HOT inside even with insulation.

 

An U gel, do you have 10k axles or 7k, 24' right and what is the unloaded weight? I have sway control from last trailer in 2000, a 20' wells cargo. thanks.

 

most 24' come with twin 3500 axles. That is what I have.

finding a 24' with 7000 lb axles is hard to find. May have to order one. 10,000 on a 24' not likely.

My trailers Gross Max wt loaded should be 7200 lbs, which I know I am over.

What I did do was put Carlyle "D" six ply tires on each wheel. that was an extra $450

most 24' come with "C" or 4 ply tires. which is NOT enough.

Bought in March of 2005, have more then 10,000 miles on, one one flat tire. which is rare. Flat tires normal come in twos, both rights going flat is most common. driving off the edge of the pavement, most common for flats. ALWAYS HAVE TWO SPARE WHEELS with you at all times. Cordless impact drill a little ramp to drive one axle up onto to change the other wheel on that side.

Try not to drive more then 60 mph.

28' foot trailers come with twin 7000 or 10,000 But with a 28' one really needs a 3/4 ton pick up to haul.

Most of my hauls are 2 to 3 hours. Several 6 hour hauls and one 11 hour each way ( over the smokey mountains )

Fuel mileage is 11.5 mpg on the flats or up and down mountains. Use 3nd gear up and down the mountains. When I tow I use 93 octane vs 87 normally. Makes a difference.

pick up is a 1500HD

 

Pace American Trailers http://www.paceamerican.com/

Mine is the http://www.paceamerican.com/trailers/pursuit/

came with a plywood wood deck and walls.

I painted the walls and ceiling with white Kilz, primer sealer and the deck used gray floor epoxy.



The Pace Arrow is an Extruded Aluminum Perimeter Frame. Much lighter to tow but more expensive to buy even used.

 

Adding to my ultimate mod thread.

Mental note - Just get what Tom has. Save $$$

 

When I get my 44' goose neck.

I put my 24' up for sale.

24' would be perfect if they came with twin 5000 lb axles
