Seen them a few times at the track, pretty cool looking, but just seem too small for many. For the right program I would do it.

Call Peter Brock. I'm sure he'll answer all your questions and give you a tour of the facility.
I see that Wayne Carini has been using the Aerovault.

I was there last month, not about the trailers but he did walk us through the shop then sat down to talk about the old times.

I shot a few vids with the phone, just haven't up loaded any more of them.

Thanks, Basil. Just thinking about trailering a Boxster or Miata around to some tracks out West rather than driving.

Seems perfect for that.


Looks like a great experience, Wheeler. I'll make the excuse to visit if I go ahead.

Really nice design. I'd like to see the XL version, 18" taller, 8 feet longer with a gooseneck hitch...

I bet they could do quite well if they advertised it towards the side x side crowd with a Can Am 4 seater fitting snuggly in there.

Door and roof heights are too low for the SXS crowd. Also most of the SXS crowd is not trying to tow their unit with a Cayenne or X5, they have a truck with a higher towing capacity so the weight of the trailer is not a concern.

Plus those trailers are a much as a small toy hauler.

Thats what I meant by fitting a can-am in there. Make one big enough for it. Id bet it would definitely increase their sales quite a bit. Shit tons of side by side owners. Definitely more than a few that would jump on one of these for their rides.

The trailer would cost as much as the SXS. The standard trailer is $26K. A bigger one would be over $30K. Very few dirt people would consider buying one.

You can get a bad ass Mission all aluminum trailer that will fit a SXS for like $18K.

The guys that buy these trailers have exotic or expensive cars

Unless you need enclosed for weather or overnight, stick with what I have for under 10G. And it weighs just 1,700 pounds.

I'd put a dolly under my boat instead of my boat trailer...Convienient indoor storage anywhere.

Looked at the article. Not really sure why they think it’s so special. Looks like a trailer to me.
