It's becoming painfully clear that I may need to fork up some $ for a trailer. I currently abscond with the wife's minivan for races and I could tow something with it, but ideally, I'd like to find something small that I can pull behind my Chrysler Sebring. The car gets better mileage and my wife wouldn't have to haul two kids in my two door convertible while I'm off playing for the weekend.
I typically bring 4 to 5 boats to a race (RTRs, .21 tunnels, 36" Sprintcat, Sport 40, 60.80 Roadrunner, and soon a 1/8 scale and a gas Whiplash), along with a bunch of support stuff such as tables, E-ZUP, tools, spare parts, etc. I've found a few second hand 4x6 trailers locally that look like they would hold all my stuff. Their low height would be less drag on the Sebring than something taller, but I wonder if the low inside height, typically four feet or less, would make them awkward to use?
I'm not looking for something I can walk inside, just something to haul my boats to the races. Does anyone have experience using smaller trailers? Is it realistic to consider one, or does the low height make them more trouble than they're worth?
