Toying, well more than toying. With the idea of a trailer. I know our cars will fit a 16ft bed comfortably but what is the minimum bed length and width that you can safely get away with? Anyone with experience of using smaller than a 16ft bed length? Fair amount of 14ft trailers outthere, less 16ft and tend to command a premium.
 
Hi Laurence

I've been using a 14ft Woodford dual axle tilt-bed trailer since 2009 for my RS and SC. I've not found the length to be an issue and even have a tyre rack mounted at the front. I do load the cars on backwards so as to keep the centre of gravity over the trailer wheels. This may not be so much of an issue on a longer trailer?

My next step would be to go for a covered trailer (in my dreams) and then the extra length might be necessary.
 
Hi Laurence, yes I did some time ago as I have some chocks fixed to the deck so I know where the car should be. I think it was about 40-50 kgs, but I could be wrong? I'm an old git these days and the memory's not so good! [;)]
