Hey Denis: Yeah, I've got a perfect utility hauler trailer that I have hauled
VWs on for about 75,000 miles. And you can't haul a car with a car cover on
it. You will beat the paint to death and it will have scratches all over it
when you get to your destination.

The trailer I drag Murray around on is a Texas Bragg. It is not enclosed. I
think mine cost around $1500. You could buy a cover to put on your cars and
not buy the enclosure. Just a thought.

Tony P feels the ones with the V front pull better . One of our buds in
Granbury just bought a new one in the last few weeks Bob Warriner I am
not sure of the price , but everyone felt it was a great price . E mail me &
I will give you his # . It may be to late, but I believe tomorrow he is
hosting a get together at his place . He lives on a private air strip , on the
edge of Granbury Tx . He keeps his cars ( of which he has many ) in his hanger
. The Air Strip is having a "FLY IN " ??? Bi planes with flour bombs & lots
of " stuff " going on . He is doing burgers noonish & the strip is having a
cheap BQ dinner . It sounds fun , but I have # 2 grandaughter grad from HS .
Plenty of VWs Terry

Anyone out there who can add any insight into buying an enclosed trailer, your
comments would be welcome.
OK, I have been contemplating acquiring an enclosed car hauler trailer. Have
been looking on Craig List and talking to people. Here's what I think I want:
8.5' X 20' tandem axle with ramp gate on rear and electric brakes. Beyond that
I have no idea.
Most of the ones I have seen advertised are 6.5' inside height and I am not
sure that is high enough to haul a bus. Have found some used ones 24 & 28' but
don't really want to pull one around that long if not needed. Also found one
that is 16' but that is probably too short for an enclosed trailer to haul
cars. My open trailer is 16' but that seems sort of short for an enclosed one.
Anyone know of any used ones around for a bargain price. I have not been able
to find one that is a bargain. Most of the used ones I have seen advertised
the asking price is so close to a new one that it is not worth buying a used
one.
Comments or suggestions will be appreciated; particularly from anyone who has
experience with an enclosed trailer.
