Default double wide trailer

What sort of car does your partner have? I would imagine the
glider weighs next to nothing. You don't need large cars and
pick-ups to safely tow trailers, almost any car can be used.
Much cheaper and flexible to fit a tow bar to her car.

They used one of those "toy haulers" to fit a Nimbus 3 and a

A bit on the gigantic side...

Jim,

I've talked with Garrett and seen pictures of their party wagon.

Not
sure I'm ready for that kind of upgrade. I've got an old beater

1994
GMC 2 wheel drive V6 pickup with 256,000 miles on it that I

would like
to keep for now for a tow vehicle. Not ready to upgrade a

super heavy
duty diesel gas guzzler.

Martin -

I'm having trouble visualizing what you typed. Perhaps its just

too
early. The fuselage is ~20-22 ft long. Each wing is about 18

or 19
ft long.

I've got a friend with a Duster and because of its massive fixed
center section the solution for his trailer was to lay the wings

flat
on the floor. I'm wondering if maybe a good solution for the

double
Cherokee trailer would be two racks for the 4 wings on the

floor. one
wing would go root first the other tip first. then the fuselages

in,
one nose first the other tail first. This could potentially

minimize
trailer width.
