Door clearance on inside trailer wheel wells

[tdw28210]

Looking at a nice aluminum trailer online that has internal wheel wells that stick up one foot (12") from the floor. Worried my driver's doors on my '77 backdate will hit when I open it to depart the trailer. Can't find the door clearance height online. Trailer is out of state and I am not near my 911 to measure. What say ye? (thanks)

I’m getting 11” door bottom height (with mine being lowered). You could drive up on to some 1x2” boards to allow some extra lift clearance to get out on driver side, then roll the car off the boards forward to secure it for transport.
BTW! I used a UHAUL car trailer, it has the hinged wheel fender that folded out of the way to exit the driver door. Something to consider fabricating if you buy a trailer.

Thanks. If I really fall in love with the trailer I might fab something like that up. It looks like there is about 2 to 3 inches of clearance between the top of the trailer tire and the underside of the tire well. If I did I could unlatch them for loading/unloading and put them back in place for hauling.
