Tips on Customizing a Race Trailer

It’s fairly common to have a race trailer customized, and many buyers prefer to have their models professionally upgraded to ensure their new race trailers meet their exact needs and preferences. However, customizing a trailer can be tricky, and we strongly recommend reading over our tips below to ensure your model comes out of the service center exactly the way you imagined it. 

Consider Your Tow Vehicle 

While you want your custom racing trailer to have everything you need to transport your vehicle and all of its important gear safely—if your new trailer is too large for your tow vehicle you’ll be getting nowhere fast. Before you start designing your custom race trailer, be sure to check that your vehicle is compatible with your preferred hitching style and that the trailer doesn’t exceed your model’s gross weight limit. However, it’s hard to know how much a trailer will weigh before it’s been built. Thankfully, you can get a rough estimate of your trailer’s weight based on the number of axles it has and how much weight each one can support.

Draw Up a Floor Plan 

Unless you’re giving your custom race trailer an extremely simple design, we strongly recommend creating a floor plan for your model. This should help you figure out how large your trailer will need to be to successfully transport your car, as well as store all of the important gear you plan to bring along with you. If you’re planning on adding living quarters to your racing trailer, a floor plan should help you figure out the optimal spot for you to create this space, as well as how much room you’ll need to relax comfortably.
