2 car enclosed trailer

I'm looking to buy a 2 car enclosed trailer for my 84 vw rabbit and 81 vw jetta coupe. I don't want to buy a big trailer just something my cars can fit in. Do you think 28' is bigger enough this this job?

Do a 30 ft bumper pull or a 38 gooseneck you will need it. I have a 28 ft gooseneck flat bed and a small blazer and a ranger barley fit have some over hang. Also you will need a little room to get in and strap them down.

How long are the cars? You'll want a couple feet in front, between and behind.

I have always found when buying a trailer........that after I've bought it I wish I had bought a bigger trailer

I have a 44 ft enclosed trailer........sometimes its too big......sometimes it's too small

With all the trailers I own both enclosed and open bed.....I seem to always want something either bigger or smaller......someday I'll get every size trailer made then get P/Oed and build the perfect trailer with a crank to expand and contract it's size to fit my load

It's better to have a trailer that's too big then one that's too small

Just get the biggest trailer your truck can pull.

If you don't mind asking, why do you need a trailer for an 84 Rabbit and 81 Coupe?

Usually people buy trailers for show cars or race cars, and if you have a Show or Race Rabbit or Jetta, I'd like to know about them.

I bought my 84 gti about 2 12 years ago and I'm almost done restoring it and I just found the 81 jetta coupe that I'm getting ready to restore. The cars are for me and wife so we can go to car shows and different kinds of events.
