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 |

Get a trailer with a dove tail specifically for car hauling. I always bought my trailers new, because the pass on maintenance for the first few years pays for itself. Get a winch. Get 20+ feet, unless you plan to do nothing inside the trailer. If you do have plans, get an awning, a generator is nice too, as is an air tank. See 20+. Haggle on the price.
