Default Re: 8.5 x 20 ' Enclosed Trailer Question

I painted a stripe on the floor and front wall so I can drive the car into the trailer and have it within 1" of centered each time, using a crease along the hood as a guide. That means I needed the left side escape door, and its placement is also critical. It must be opened and secured first, and the car door must open through the opening in the trailer. My Wells Cargo puts the car at the back to give appropriate tongue weight (10-15%) whether I carry extras up front or not. If you are ordering a trailer, specify on the form exactly where the side doors need to be. Otherwise, you could get an unpleasant surprise when it arrives. Also specify the height of the escape door opening above the floor.
