Re: what size trailer ?
We ran for years with our 1970 cuda super gas car and a golfcart in front of it in a Hallmark 28ft enclosed

Re: what size trailer ?
If you use the double side door and al ramps for the golf cart make a pair of stops for the front wheels on the wall to spread the pressure and tie the cart acoss the trailer to keep it as far as possible in the door. I have a metal rear deck/folding seat on the rear of mine and that makes entry hard through the door when the cart is in so be sure all tie down is done first before loading cart. Keep ramps fairly long so cart clears door floor edge. Side mounted winch can pull it in too if needed to control on entry.
I had cabinets in front of trailer but above on side to clear. 28 ft would give space between car and cart if you need to get in to check it or out of rain at track. My question is impressions of brands Haulmark, etc. I was spoiled with T and E or Goldrush but cutting budget.. Which do people like of lesser expensive brands.... |

Re: what size trailer ?
Hi,
With a 28' trailer, workbench and cabinets at the front and a golf cart you will not be able to get your racecar (my racecar is 3700 lbs) far enough back to offset the additional tongue weight..... You will probably need 1000# bars on your equalizer hitch.... I have a 28' Pace trailer loaded with a car and golf cart behind a 1 ton Dodge Dually CTD and it's a load until I load my lift bars..... If the trailer was longer the car could be loaded further back....... Just my 2 cents, Bob

Re: what size trailer ?
So what brands do people like and why? I am starting to look at a 24'-28' for my cars. But, like many I am on a budget. But I want quality over Chrome.

Re: what size trailer ?
I went from a 28' Pace to a 38' Vintage gooseneck and couldn't be happier. With cabinets mounted on the road side I have 30' of clear floor and the whole rig is only 1 foot longer than the 28' tag all hooked up.

Re: what size trailer ?
To load a golf cart and a car, I wouldn't go with anything less than a 28 footer, with the 16 inch wheels. I have a 28 foot Classic and I am very happy with it. Good luck!
