recommendations I have gotten are no less than 24' long, 10,000# axles and driver side door to be able to open the door to get out of the car.
Goosenecks are supposed to be better for pulling and will allow you to get a longer trailer, on that might even have living quarters.
I have also been told get a white one to reflect sunlight and reduce heat.
A/C would be nice.

My son John bought a brand new '06 leftover Haulmark 24' 8.5' wide enclosed race car trailer from Hecht's in NJ with 10,000 lb axles this past year for $8,200. out the door for his Buick race car.
Hecht Trailers is a great place to deal with and the sales staff is very knowledgeable about the products they sell.
I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy any type of trailer.

I got a 24' Pace I found in Race Junk. Got a real good deal and it was about 30 miles from my house.

Don't forget with a Gooseneck you have to cut a hole in the bed of your pickup and purchase that whole set up.

24 would be the smallest I would get. 10K axles, diamond plate floor is nice but really expensive. I would get the 110v lighting package and invest in a good generator. The electric tongue jack is a nice feature that I get allot of use from.
there's a bunch of ways to get an enclosed trailer price up to $10K real quick

24' minimum dual 6k lbs axles. 8'6 wide 6'6 tall. My personal reccomendation is a 32' gooseneck, we have had great luck with our 40' Exiss. The gooseneck tows much better and the Exiss is pretty light
