    How does loading and unloading an enclosed car carrier compare to an open car carrier? What steps are involved? Which is easier?

    Years ago I pulled a 53ft trailer set up for 6 cars.I am big, and it was tight for me, but I think it was better in rain and snow., plus we could raise the rack and load freight on the backhaul if need be.

    Thanks,
    How did you get in and out of the cars inside the trailer? How long did it take to tie the wheels down?

    Are enclosed car carriers used for any type of vehicle or are they more for high-end/exotic cars? I've seen them on the road and always wondered what was inside of them.

    I've seen open car carriers hauling Lexus with those protective white covers on them (must be fun to get in and out of with those things), so I was just curious.
