The extension is 8'. It is retractable on the model I have which is really nice. When pushed in, I stand it up against the back of the garage and easily fit my car in front of it.

Trailex makes great all aluminum trailers. Most trailers you should be fine pulling them with a car.

How about parking??? are there any problems to find parking space. Been to some places where there is only parking for one car...I don't want to ruin the paint on my car or anything else with the salt water..

Good question.... I'd love to have a trailer to save my body from the effort of loading my Stealth 14 onto my truck. The reason that I don't is because I like fishing LJ and parking can get rough in the summer. Even here in Carlsbad parking along the beach is a beech.

Doesnt the yakima rocknroll conveniently fold up? You could probably un hitch a trailer and use a full parking spot for your trailer alongside your vehicle (maybe bike lock it to a pole or tree nearby). I know people would probably get mad but unless it folded up like the yakima rock n roll it may be your only choice.

you can get a nice used trailer and convert it for about $400 or so which 1/4 the price of a new one...a trailer hitch is about $150
