Parking a Car Trailer

[james schaechter]

How big is your garage? We have a smaller steel open trailer. My brother backed it in the garage with the car on it. If you could do that, it might simplify things.

Dan----Bring it on down-----12 acres drop it anywhere-----or you could buy the place next door 36 acres. Firearms and dogs that run free are a requirement in my neighborhood. :-)

Did you make the trip south yet? Im still trying to sell this place. To many GDOP's(G*D DA*M OLD PEOPLE) around. Have several locations located of 5 to 8 acres Id like to have but cant seem to give away this place to make the move yet. It seems selling property and/or a home in Florida is a loser unless your on the beach near the mass of humanity. Im priced at about $20,000 less than I paid for it a little over 4 years ago. Thank you oBUMa !

Seems like every garage on the planet is 20' deep. How big's my trailer? 21'. Still apartment living since we moved back up north, and the car & trailer stay in a storage place. Not close, and have no place to work on the car. Been looking at real estate for several years now. Lots of places to live around here, but not with a race car. Haven't been able to find something that fits both my needs and my budget at the same time... not sure if those things ever coincide!

Michael, how far are you from Nerk? I think you are close if my memory is correct my brother in law may be able to help with location

Dan, when I lived in a HOA .area in Northern VA. I had a 22 foot garage. After looking all over the DC area, I found a 18 foot, diamond plate floor, trailer with a 3 1/2 foot tongue (21 1/2 feet) at Perone Trailers in Laurel MD. Great trailer.

Suggestion!!!! My daughter has/had a similiar problem they ended up modifying the drawbar on their trailer into one that FOLDS!!! Now they can get the boat into the garage and close the door too!!! Not sure how much they cost but look up Fultonfold-away couplers part number HDP350101---this is for their biggest heavy duty one--Gross Trailer Weight of 9000 pounds which includes the trailer & whatever is on the trailer --it has a pivot length of up to 48 inches---

WOW.. great experiences and suggestions..

My garage is little over 20 ft. Barely long enough for the Impala SS.
Barely wide enough to get the Dumbo Ear Side Mirrors in the garage.
Have backed out a few time ripping them off. Carry Spares.

My wife was looking for a nice mega house I was looking at large garages..

I can get away with a 18 ft trailer with the back end hanging over.
Fortunately there are a lot of good trailer manufacturers.

Will be skulking around Montgomery Co MD. Something will pop up .

X-2 on the smaller trailer. I custom ordered a "classic car hauler" from the dealer and I had them shorten it by 2' and narrow it by 6". It just fit in the single side door of my garage. The best part was I could back it in with the car on it unhook and shut the door. Was especially helpful after 1st round red light when I didn't want to look at the car. LOL
