I've been using a 16ft for years. if you don't mind rear overhang, its really not a bad way to go and you aren't as likely to be a member of the excessive tongue weight club. I made three paint marks on my trailer. Two for the ramp location for 99% of the cars I load, and one for the rear axle centerline of my race car. Loaded just right, its a beauty to pull.

Just bought a 20’ enclosed, not for trailering my car but to move furniture. I recently bought a 2nd home in Gilford, New Hampshire. I plan on making two runs (one from Reno where I live, and the other from Pasadena, CA where I have a 10x20 full of inherited furniture). I payed about $13k for the brand new trailer and the dealer said when I’m done moving the furniture I could likely sell the trailer for the same I paid for it or more! I may keep it, who knows.

Are the Pieces of White Material used to keep the "sun temp lower in the building" so that trailer stays nice and cool???

I don’t know Tom, this photo was taken at the trailer dealership. Sounds like a logical guess to me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Bought this in 1991. 18' including 4' dove. Removable fenders. 5' ramps. VERY easy to load.
Center rail in tongue. No xtra charge for sideways pic.

Bought a 16' and it's perfect for Mid-Size.
I like that it has the stake post brackets so I made rails so I could utilize the trailer for household and construction materials as well. But I would not load a B-Body, A 20'+ is recommended.

I have a 62 Catalina and haul it occasionally on a 20’ Sure Trac trailer. It pretty well fills up my trailer except for a little room at the front to assist on tie down.
Would not want anything shorter , my 2 cents… I also agree, get the longest built in ramps you can to prevent steep loading angles. Mine are probably 5’ and not long enough sometimes! |

I’d say go with the 18’. I don’t think a Bonneville would fit on my 16’ without it being sketchy.

I picked this one up a few months back. It's an 18' tilt deck but it also has a 20" stationary portion so almost a 20' of usable space.
