How about if you rent the 20footer, the trailer, and tow the Discovery?.....wife can drive that, and you can drive the Porsche out here!!!!!!

Well,.......at least "I" think it's a good idea....

See you soon!

Tom has it right. Just to amplify that, it depends on the trailer you are using. My trailex has the axle set at 66" from the back of the trailer, which is the magic position for a 911 with rear engine. Most other trailers have the axle set forward, because they are designed for a front engined car. So with a 911, you would load the car on backwards. I wouldn't think the tail is that big of a deal, we spin at high speeds all the time and it doesn't come flying up although your experience may vary.

10% tongue weight at the right ball height is your goal- you should be able to roll the car fore and aft a little to get the tongue weight right. Then you use different drawbars to get the ball height correct-- my trailer likes between 19-22".

Good luck!

John, is your trailex a single or tandem axle. I may have an oportunity to have a trailer built for me at a reasonable cost and need dimensions for the builder.

TIA
