Re: Enclosed Trailers
-----While a 20 footer may be perfect for a Camaro, remember that you will undoubtably be towing other cars as well. Package that with the fact that a white 24ft. 10,500gvw trailer is by far the easiest trailer to resell (landscapers love 'em) and then think about how often you will use it as to what level quality you want. White looks better with minimum care longer, is cooler inside, and because it stays cooler it doesnt warp as much around the rivets or screws when out in the sun on a hot day. Last time I also upgraded to 8-lug 16" wheels so that I could get really heavy-duty tires that wouldnt dry-rot nearly as quickly just sitting around. I also chose the same size tires as my dually so the spare serves double duty. If you use a trailer 2 or 3 times a year there isnt much sense in having a Goldrush or other premium brand unless you have a bunch of cash burning a hole in your pocket. On the other hand the cheapest Pace is often a bit too austere and doesnt have a one piece roof which is a necessity as far as I am concerned. I have chosen the middle of the road Pace the last 3 times and have been satisfied generally, but you should look at other brands as well as there are so many to chose from. I do love the look of the non-riveted sides but believe they cost more.........Bill S
-------After reading orig's post I should mention that torsion axles (or rubber axles as I have referred to them for years) are absolutely a necessity. You have never had a weekend ruined until you experience a broken leaf-spring shackle going to or from a show and torsion axles take that problem completely out of the equation. I have never heard of a torsion suspended axle failure!!!!
