Open Full Deck Trailer Length

I have been a muscle car transporter for 15 years now full time, and towed for 35 years. I have had every kind of trailer known to man, last year I got a new 24' v-nose enclosed (my 10th) and another new 20' steel deck open trailer with a 9500 lb winch. If I had to do it all over again I would have bought a full width 22' open with drive over fenders, I have needed it lately. I picked up a 2001 Mexican Ramcharger with a Cummins 6-speed and the wheelbase width was too much for the 20' trailer and I ended up ruining the fenders as the owner tried to drive it on. After we backed it off and beat the fenders back out we put spares on the front so it would fit, you live and you learn...

I admit fender were an issue when I hauled the donor truck home. I took a couple of skinny mounted tires, and put blocks down inside of one fender to drive up over, and rubbed the other side against the inboard of the fenders, so we skated through. Of course you could always build/ reinforce fender so you can just drive over 'em LOL
