Agreed! Here's mine: 2012 Vintage Outlaw 48' long, 10' tall. Believe it or not, I actually need the space because I own a replica of the car from the movie Ghostbusters, which is 21' long and 9' tall. But when I'm not hauling that around, I can fit 2, sometimes 3 smaller cars on its 40' deck.

I have been using an open trailer I built a dozen years ago. Previously, I purchased a 20 foot enclosed. It had a flat front end/nose and I had to use the leveling hitch. I just bought a used V nose 24 foot and it pulled fine with no equalizer hitch.

Recommend getting a V nose. Well worth the extra.  I’d also go with 24 feet. 20 is doable. But you get a lot more for just a little extra weight to haul around.

I run a 26’ Pace American Enclosed. I ordered from the Pace factory in Lebanon, OR back around 201I I think and went there to pick it up. Full front cabinets, so 2’ ft off inside leaving about 24’. Had them put the tie downs where I wanted them, and a full run of Diamond Checker Plate for the tires to run on, plenty wide enough to handle most tire spreads. One piece vinyl flooring too. One piece roof, no holes to leak. Smooth finish exterior and interior, no fasteners. Torflex axles too. Wish I had got the escape door for loading, but I was also thinking less holes in the unit, less ways for someone to get in and less ways for dust to get in. I’ll get around the loading thing by adding in a  Super Winch S5500. Gotta get that done before this summer. I had them build in the mounting plate at the front inside the bottom cabinets under the floor, so the foundation is already there for the winch and is out of site when not in use.
So with about 24’ft left of space I can still haul some extra things, parts coming and going as my location here warrants the opportunity. I also like the Pace rear ramp door lock mechanisms, very heavy duty! I didn’t get power jack, should have though. I think the roof is insulated too. My 02’ F-350 Crewcab pulls it well with the addition of an Edge Tuner. I’ll try to post a few pictures tomorrow.
