car trailer advice

We have a guy here locally that makes new 16' open trailers and sells them for a little over $1000. Thinking about getting one and making my mods to it. Open "Pit" style center, 18" wide diamond plate tread sections, adding a small winch, adding the front tire nets/winches that the U-Haul trailers use. Add some slide in ramps and ti would be good to go.

The only real issue I have with that is that after dragging the car 3000 miles round trip, I found myself wishing for an enclosed trailer, just for peace of mind. Nothing like waking up at 3:00 AM in Nashville and seeing 5 or 6 people "gathered" around the car. A quick "check" of the trucks alarm system sent them on their way, but I didn't get any sleep the rest of the night.
