So I am about 2 weeks out from moving back down south.
My question is does any one have any experience with the U-haul trailer and z28?
I am going to be moving in a Uhaul so therefore the haul trailer would be ideal.

I have a 2015 Z28 Camaro.

the problem i see with a open car trailer is getting out of the door after loading it
the trailer fenders will not allow the door to open enough to climb out. So you haul it with the widow open, I wouldn't haul my car with the window open. I did see a guy remove his back seat and climb out through the trunk, He was a skinny guy, I wouldn't fit but its a option. Good luck

I've used u haul trailers before the fenders folds down so you can get out of the door..The problem you going to have is the wheel tie downs..our cars with all there aero get in the way...your going to need some of your own tie downs

If you try to use one of the u-haul open car trailers you will tear up the splitter as well as the wheels if you can even get the car on it due to width and ground clearance. A friend tried to use one for a new Nissan GTR and it did not go well...

You have to jack up the front of the trailer after its attached to the tow vehicle that will decrease the angle at the loading ramps and allow the car on the trailer...be careful of the front splitter st the front of the trailer..some on should be spotting for you

Make sure you place the yellow blocks back into the front springs and remove the front splitter before you load.

Here is a picture of my rig I got tired of renting trailers it has a dove tail on the rear, a fold out fender and six foot loading ramps cost brand new from apaches trailers in Rialto, Ca 1700.00 I welded on the winch later so I could load the car by my self since there is only about 2inch clearance on either side.

Do you have a brand and model number for the trailer? What length?
