No sweat, depending on what you load it with. I pull a 18-ft enclosed
trailer with 2500# car and spares, tools etc with an older V6 Astro. It's
barely adequate. I suspect you have more than 150 HP though. Now, If you
load the lathe, the mill, a few extra longblocks etc, then hit thos WV
hills, you may have a bit of a struggle. But I bet it will work.
> Does the list have any cautions/comments/ideas?
Consider trailer brakes. If you were towing across Kansas, it's optional
(IMO).
Add hills and especially rain and they become mandatory. On a 14-ft trailer
they are probably not standard.
> BTW, how come you never see any used enclosed trailers for sale?
they last forever. Only reason to sell one is if you quit racing or decide
you need a bigger size. Speaking of which, I would consider going up to a
16-ft ramp-door at least. It will hold more, it will resale better, and it
will accomodate other vehicles besides the spridget.
YMMV
