Does the Z/28 fit and trailer on an 18' trailer? I am looking at a trailer that is 18' x 7' wide but the way I see it, it doesn't look like it will work. Looking to see what guys here are using...

I use a Sloan roll back trailer for my Z/28 and it barely fits on the deck width ways. I think the deck is 78" wide. Length is no problem.

its a width issue. I have towed using a 16' Anderson open trailer no problem. I just can't open my doors and only have about 3/4" clearance on each side for the tires to the side rails.

I normally use an 18 ft with 83" between fender trailer and it works great for the z28, C7 Z06, ect. A 16 footer would work too. It just the width between fenders as mentioned above that you need to watch.

Many come with removable or hinged fenders as an option.

Looking at a 70DM Diamond Back Car Hauler 18' trailer. Looks like it is 83" wide and does have the removable fender.

I have a Challenger series that I purchased from Brett Nelson from Car Guy Trailers. I use race ramps to extend the approach and have no issues. Tows great as well. Doors clear the fenders as well.

I used an aluminum sundowner ch19bp. Pulled like a dream. I absolutely loved it but keep in mind my prior experience was a rented Uhaul trailer.

I am now purchasing an enclosed from Elliotts Custom trailers and carts in warsaw Indiana. Absolute disaster..........stay away!
