Default enclosed car hauler

Can you open drivers door on a enclosed hauler?

Very partially... It matters how big the driver is.. He might have to crawl thru window.

If you have an "escape door" on the left side of the trailer it's easy. I don't have one so I climb out through the window.

Car sits too low for escape door to clear iirc.

Some people build ramps inside to raise the car up so that the door clears. If you can't get out the window the only other option is to winch it in.

See posts #17 and #23. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/auto...interiors.html

Crawl out through the trunk? If not just leave a window down and climb out. If its an enclosed trailer I would think it shouldnt matter if the window is down.

Default Race Ramps Trailer Mates

Race Ramps offers a few different models of Trailer Mates that can be used to raise the car a few inches.

http://www.reverselogic.us/shop.html...0&sort=nameAsc

The standard model is 36" long, and Reverse Logic offers a 52" long version for lower cars. The cradle area is reinforced to withstand the pounding that the ramps will take while in transit.
