Please help if you can with the following questions........1. Will the car doors clear the wheel wells when the doors are opened? Is it best to have a door installed on the drivers side of the trailer that will correspond to the opening of the car door? Is Cargo-Pro a good trailer? What is the best length? Thanks, your answers will be helpful in ordering one. Unless someone has a used one for sale. Tim

I have a 2001 Haulmark 24' enclosed and the car doors clear the wheel wells but of course the doors cannot be opened all the way. It has been a great trailer and very affordable. I dealt with Central Hitch in Baton Rouge, LA. They were very helpful.
Good luck

I'll put in a plug for The Aluminum Trailer co. www.aluminumtrailer.com. I recently purchased a 44 ft monstrosity and it is nicely done. We have had a few problems with the tire racks, but they are paying a local fabricator to fix that to minimize down time. They are more than the Pace & Haulmark types of trailers, but then again my trailer weighs only 6500 lbs empty and I can pull it with a Ram 2500 (which I can still fit in my office parking garage, unlike a 3500).

They will literally custom build to exactly what you want.

Thanks for the info, I'm leaning towards a Cargo-Pro 20' enclosed with a V-nose for $8,000. These are built in Maine. Unless of corse, there are other/better trailers at better prices! Thanks to all, Tim

$8000! for a 20' is steep. Unless it's an aluminum Gold Rush or Featherlite. I just bought a 32' Haulmark Edge for $10,700. If you just want a bare floor, beavertrail, tandem axle with a 36" side door, D rings and a escape door on the side. 5 to 6 grand new.

Actually, the 20' Cargopro with the V-nose did not include the V in the length. It was almost 3' of space after the 20' box to the nose. Thanks for letting me know that there may be some better buys out there. Is there any other brands that I should consider? Thanks Tim
