What about buying a new 102" wide X 20' and selling it on the other end?

A good car hauler with a steel floor is going to cost you in the neighborhood of $3k. Good luck finding a used one. I've been trying to find one in my area for over a year with no luck.

I bought an Interstate Supercoach from Trailers Plus, 102X20, and really like the trailer. The higher GVW and springless torsion suspension make it ride very nice. It has a mid door to get out once you get your car in there.
Good luck in your search!
I added some cabinets and black tile flooring to use it for camping in the summer, the grandkids love it!

Nice job, actually that's a very good idea instead of just leaving it set all the time like most of them do...

Or, you could just drive your vette like many of us do

Just kidding, I know you probably have other reasons, like needing two vehicles while there, etc.

A good transport trailer is nice to have.

I would also look at the aluminum ones, for less corrosion and lighter weight, but they may be much more costly too, I haven't checked to compare.
