    Enclosed car trailer for Model A

    20ft would be my choice. double axle. tall door option. 8ft wide. The extra space will be nice, you can pack chairs, coolers, tools with storage options as well. I have a 28ft and at times its still not enough room

After reading debated about pulling the pan and cleaning it out as i read that junk will gather there aka sludge. it will also give me the chance to resolve a drip or 2 that it has. Thankfully there's a model a shop...
