This is a great selection of trailers, who wants to sell me one?! My biggest problem is storage - where do you all keep your trailers? My wife's been clear that it will not live in our yard and the driveway is pretty full. I've been thinking about having a 12-footer built that will fit in the garage with a car on it but would really like something a bit bigger. Help!
I store mine next to the shed in the backyard. It is blocked from the view of the house by the shed. IMHO a 12' trailer would not be big enough. I wouldn't go with anything less than a 16'
Why's that? Here's what I'm thinking of having built - 12' bed with 4' tongue. This a friend of mine's - he's been using it for 3 years with no issues.
For me I prefer to have a little extra room for loading and unloading. If you ever want to haul something a little longer / bigger than your 914 it gives you room to do so. Also not a fan of a single axle trailers. In my experience I found them to be a bit bouncy. I like dual axles better.
I use my trailer for more than just hauling my racecar to the track. Having the stake pockets makes it easy to "modify" for whatever I need to haul. This past week I dropped in some side rails I made and hauled home a big load of firewood. Done the same for hauling rock, mulch, and more.
I had a trailer for years (14ft) that was just big enough to haul my car and it worked ok. Once we got the new home (15yrs ago) it made more sense for me to have something a little bigger that I am able to change around to do more than just haul my car.
