Looking for a trailer !

[Lakesailor]

We have a 1909 Touring, and looking for enclosed trailer, with an extra tall door height. Does anyone have one for sale ? Any dealer(s) we should call ? In advance, THX !

I bought a 28' enclosed vee-nose Interstate trailer from "Trailers Plus" two years ago. The particular model I bought is called an All Sport, which is a combination toy hauler and auto hauler. Not your typical "toy hauler" as it is built heavy duty to enable hauling full size automobiles, which many toy haulers
are not. It was on their lot for several months as someone had ordered it but for whatever reason, the deal fell through, so I got a very good deal on it. It has 84' door opening which affords a couple inches vertical rear doorway clearance for my tallest Model T with the top up,....a '23 Roadster Pickup. Nice to have enough extra height (a half foot) without any extra height that you don't need, as enclosed trailers have a lot of "windage" at best. Very happy with trailer, and Trailers Plus dealers and service agencies are all over continental USA which is nice to know if service or repair ever needed. Again, can't say enough good about the Trailers Plus dealer where I bought mine at Olympia, WA. They encourage me to bring trailer in every year for FREE check-up and lube of wheel bearings, door hinges, etc. You probably know this, but ignore all new trailer brochures that list "interior height" along with other specs, as "interior height" is meaningless, and vertical door height is what counts. My interior door height is 84" which again, is ENOUGH but not too much. For what it's worth,.....harold

COVID-19 shut down or reduced production of
all trailers at the beginning of the year.

Government Cheese didn’t help motivate
folks to go back to work.

Chinese steel is in demand.

I just picked up etrac - fenders - etrac
wood sockets for my trailer today in
White Pigeon, Michigan.

Trailer manufacturers are buying parts
at retail locations because they can’t
get supplies thru wholesale chains.

I typically buy a new custom car hauler
every (3) years or so.

I was told there is a minimum (3) month wait.

Custom built trailer orders are backlogged.
