Smallest Enclosed Auto trailer that will accommodate a Cobra?

[vector1]

i use a 20' enclosed and it imo would be the smallest i would go, leaves some room at the front for misc. like purple venom says, step over the door onto the fender sill and you are good to go. 16'er would work also i imagine but you might want to consider resale value.

i also have a winch in mine, makes loading easy. hook a tow strap to the roll bar and pull it into the trailer backwards, unloading is easier.

pulling loaded with my f250 truck i do get moved around on the highway by the big trucks, but if you go easy and don't drive like your are in a hurry to die you should be alright. enclosed is nice for overnighters, or storing stuff also. loaded my trailer is still under 5k lbs.

Loading backwards might not be the best idea if that does not provide the proper tongue weight. You want about 10% of the total weight of the load on the tongue. That can be hard to do with the weight of the engine behind the axles.

that is a good point, i did make that mistake once. just have to make sure it is in far enough, or if tongue weight is a problem try the other way.

If the weight distribution is about 50/50 fore and aft then it is really the longer rear overhang that causes the balance issue when loading. IMHO. I load nose first.

Even a 6" difference fore or aft of the car on the trailer can make a noticeable difference in tongue weight.
One element that may be overlooked by some is having the correct height receiver (drop) on the tow vehicle that allows the trailer to set level.

Used the Peter Brock trailer for Amelia last year with CSX3021. Very light, rigid and easy to pull with 1500 rwd GMC. Claimed to be low drag so pulling was effortless, it was.

They are a little pricy though.....
