Car in trailer instead of 4 wheels down?

Hi guys,

I read an artical about an RVer who put his car in a trailer instead of opting for 4 wheels down and wanted your reaction to that. It is the first time I read about using a trailer!

They have a 43' DP with a 450 HP Cummins and purchased a "102” wide and 20’ long fully enclosed trailer. In the trailer is their car and ATV and workshop. My only interest is towing a car and may not need a trailer that is that long.

What do you guys think, is the trailer a good option? What are the pros & cons?

Thanks as always,

Harry

    As said, the biggest issue is what do you do with the trailer once you reach your destination. You can pretty much rule out public campgrounds like NP's, FS, COE, etc. t
    There simply isn't enough room for your toy hauler in the camping area.
    Most large trailers I've seen, are used by people who have a summer and winter destination. They basically stay put. Or those who run a business.

    It's adds unnecessary weight, is subject to sway, and there is no where to park it when you get to your campsite. Having said that I've seen several rigs out there. For me it's 4 down, that's the way to go IMHO.
