    Default 24' trailer

    I've been looking to purchase a new trailer to carry our two citations and wondered if
    anyone has used a 24' trailer to carry two cars, or maybe I should move up to a 26'
    trailer? I've measured the cars without noses and they're about 10.5' in length so a
    24' would only give me around 2' of spare length, unless I go with a v-nose? Any
    suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Might be worth looking into some sort of stacking system? I'm sure you can fit two cars nose to nose in a 24 or 26' trailer, but since it's hard to store stuff above the cars, that's a lot of volume taken up by the two cars. I've seen a few FV guys that built weird contraptions to load one car above the other, which saves you a ton or room inside the trailer

    Sorry, I know that's not what you asked at all..

    Vees are narrow enough to offset them slightly (not inline) and fit 2 in a 20 ft trailer.

    You can fit two Vee's in a 12' trailer if you're desperate...

    Default 24' trailer

    Hi Mark, I have been using a 24" trailer since 2002 but I built work benches and carry the second car on top. The front has a camping area with water system with bar sink and toilet with shower. Under the work benches are drawers that carry parts etc. and I have a mount for a spare motor. Although I usually travelled alone so I carried my spare tires on the benches when I took a second car I still carried tires along side the upper car and on the floor as well. I also carried a small 4 wheeler side ways behind the car.
    It is only a 7' wide trailer but tows great and has less frontal area then the wide trailers. Since I have stopped racing I will be selling it in the spring with or without the motorhome. If you are interested I can send you some pics when I go back to my MD house next week.
