How did you get out of the car? It doesn't look like the door will clear the fender on the trailer.

That fender folds outward. Have a friend who uses a similar trailer to take his car to track events.

Please load it on forward. I watched a guy load a Mustang on backwards despite our warnings. He made it 3 miles down the road before calling and having us help him unload and reload it.

No, if the car won't start or you break a driveline part, get help and push...

The door will clear...

Perfect! Thanks for the photos also guys. Appreciate the info!!

Does you Camaro have stock wheels? I tried trailering mine a few months back and it would not fit with the wider 22" rims I run they were going to scrape on the edges of the trailer.

You may need to put a 2x12 under the front tires to get the lip to clear the front of the trailer. I used a Dodge 2500 and had no issues other than loading. Needed to get the trailer ramp angle kinda flat to get the car up. Of course I'm lowered a little. Other than no issues.

This, last time I moved and had to trailer the car they gave me one that wasn't wide enough the first time. I have that plastic dam under the front of the car removed so being lowered didn't really affect me.

I'm lowered just over an inch.
I had to find a spot where the trailer tires could be a bit lower than the truck and ramps to clear the headers.
If you need to clear the lips on the front of the trailer, they unbolt as well.
there's not a lot of bite on the tire straps with the 2x12's under the front tires.

as has been said, make sure you get the silver one, not the orange one.

In this case the weight of the motor behind the rear axle caused the trailer to sway violently and pulled my buddies truck all over the road

Are you sure the Mustang didn't see a crowd of people and it's natural instincts were to go towards the crowd, even on a trailer?

I had no problems pulling my Camaro loaded backwards. Pulled it about 160 miles through interstate highway and mountain roads.

They don't have a winch, I've loaded a dead 1st gen that trailer. I parked as downhill as possible and used a come-along and a tow strap. It didn't take very long to load it up even by yourself.

Also don't load cars backwards like that, that's a very bad idea. The trailer has a much higher chance of swinging and coming around, which of course drags the truck along for the ride. I've seen it happen in person, it happens very fast and its hard to save.
