    Andy,

    I if you are buying a new trailer I would suggest you go with a dual axle one. If you talk to the builder they can move the axles rearward to allow the 911 to be driven on rather than being backwards.
    Having towed my 911s a fair bit I prefer the added security of dual axles.

    My two cents

    Regards

    Michael

    A mate with an Alfa has one and is very happy with it. If I had not found a cheaper single axle on e-bay, I would have bought a Tilta Trailer. For the limited amount of towing I do and the limited space I have, a compact single axle trailer was the only way for me to go.

    Go a tandem if you can, just a lot safer and more stable considering the way our cars are set up.

    Also agree if you can drive it on, much easier to load by yourself.

    The tires are more of a limiting factor than the actual trailer. Look at the tires and determine what the Max. Load is. Then add up the weight of the car and the trailer. Have you exceeded the limit of the the tires? Remember - it's Max Load times 2 - or 4.

    Andy/Ryan,

    This is the one you want. Light, tandem and easy to load.

    Have seen a few now on the net and they can be made to look amazing. Bigger version of the F100 but similar vintage!!

    A rather late reply, Andy, but i bought one of these last year. i have towed my Alfa to Lakeside/Morgan park, Sandown and Phillip Island with no problems at all. Easy to load (provided you remember to hit the brakes just after it tilts otherwise.....you can imagine the rest!) and unload. Very light to manoeuvre which offsets possible disadvantage of single-axle (e.g tyre blow out). I use wireless valve pressure caps with a read out in the car to minimise the risk. Colin.
