Cool Trailer

Pretty cool idea, but how do you open the door of the car once you drive it on the trailer? I had to make my trailer fender removable to be able to get my car door open on my normal trailer...

A common question we get is "how do you open the doors", and surprisingly on many cars this can be done both lowered and raised. Failing that, every trailer is fitted standard with a Warn electric winch, or with such a low approach angle, cars can simply be pushed onto the trailer. Test fittings on our demo trailer in Southern California are welcome.

Very cool trailer, but for 12 grand I'd prefer a nice aluminum enclosed.

Guess I wasn't the first to think of that question! :D

Looks cool, but that price tag is pretty steep. I'll look for them to refine the design a bit and the price to come down before considering it. I can see the advantages though for sure. Are they made here in the US? The guy in the video seemed to have a foreign accent...

Do like I do and winch them on and off. No need to open a door. Wait! One of mine doesn't even have doors!!! LOL

I put a real nice winch setup on my trailer when I rigged it up for regular use. My plan was to winch it on and off regularly.

I figured out real quick it's a lot faster and easier to just drive them up and off the trailer. I trailered the car to 13 events that summer, plus multiple times to the alignment shop, exhaust shop, etc as well. I saved a lot of time over the year by driving it on and off the trailer. The winch is handy if the car is broke, otherwise it's a PITA and time eater.

What was even better though was switching to street tires so I could drive it to events this year instead of trailering it. Talk about a time and hassle saver!!

Sorry! I LOVE winching mine on and off.... I have a great WARN winch with synthetic rope -- and a WIFI remote.....

Snap the hook in the pick up point and press a button.... bingo they're on. Not sure what this "time" thing you mention is.... But I seem to have plenty of it! LOL

Well, just imagine if you did NOT have a tow hook on the front of your car and had to shinny 3 or 4 feet underneath a car 7" off the ground to put a strap around something solid to hook to...

:bang:
