Trailer size to tow a Europa

(1/7) > >>

TurboFource:
I was wondering if anyone has towed a Europa on a 6' x 12' utility trailer?

Just planning .....  ???

Also always tow vehicle head first  or risk a broken windscreen.

BDA:
It should theoretically fit but usually utility trailers are pretty flimsy for even a small car like a Europa. Can you find a racer in your area who can lend you a trailer?

If you put the Europa on a trailer backwards, i.e. with the engine nearest the tow car, wind gets under the engine cover and causes it to un-clip and wrap itself over the roof, smashing the engine cover and the windscreen, and probably messing up the hinge locations and the roof.

Therefore make sure the Europa is on the trailer pointing forwards.

UHaul has one that looks like it would be up to the task....
