As the title says, I need to get my blue 914 out of the weather.
I looked in to expanding my garage or building a detached garage and the zoning where I live is prohibitive. To keep my car on my property but get it out of the weather I am thinking of buying a new 14 or 16 foot enclosed car trailer. I have room to park one in my backyard. I would plan to paint and preserve it with lanolin oil spray. I think I need some kind of ventilation to keep moisture from being trapped inside. Any advice on what to look for, brands, things to avoid? Thanks for any tips! John |

Seems like a lot of trailers have a side door which seems to be positioned to let you get in and out of the car. I would like to be able to drive it in and out to make it quick to take it out for a drive then put it away. I am leaning towards new, steel trailer for around $5K, then paint and oil it so it lasts a few years here. Used ones I have seen are usually already rusty. I could spend double for all aluminum but somehow the CSOB does not want to do that. I hear the bigger is better comment. I need to figure out how much room I have lengthwise. What is the max width of your trailers? I have a 10 foot gate it has to get through... John |
