Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
Picked this up this American Dream by Fleetwood on Friday in Houston TX and got it home on Monday. Now I have two money pits. But, I can at least take my C3 with me to some get togethers with the wife. She would not be going across the country in my C3.

That is kind of how I have it figured out. Need the trailer but even without it I plan on being there.

So when are the fall colors and when do you get your first Snow on the ground?
This is a big bucket list thing for me also. If anyone is interested in purchasing an RV PPL in Houston is a good location. I found mine for about $15,000 less than the best price I found anywhere else.
Here is the make of trailer I purchased in March...got the most features for least price

Thanks
Now I have some questions:
Did the doors clear the wheel fenders?
What did you do to as hold down for your car?
Got pictures of your car on the trailer?

Had my Corvette on several times. Doors clear fenders easily. Also got removable fenders in case they did not clear $100 option) but not needed. Trailers have 6 "D" rings built into floor for tie down. I use ratchet straps (4) from car to trailer. Sorry don't have pics of on trailer.Best I could do right now would be to take pic of trailer alone. I personally also purchased the optional 5000 lb winch For $950 which is highly worth the money. This is the model I bought in the 18 foot length.
