Anyone with experience towing 2 miatas? I have a buddy that we live near each other and attend most track days together. We came up with the probably dumb but logical idea of just towing both on the same trailer. Looks like an open 28' or enclosed 32' would be best. Looking for opinions or people experienced with towing that long. Thanks!
If you have a gooseneck trailer, these look really cool. They originally sold for $6,800 but we've been selling them at my auction for $1000 or less as a factory closeout.

Yes. With a 42 foot enclosed gooseneck and 2000 F350 crew cab long bed dually.
Those trailer sizes are not going to work very well at all, it leaves absolutely no space for anything else. You're going to want a 3/4 ton truck or larger, dually is preferred especially if you're going to do a bumper pull setup, since those will want to yank the truck around way more when it's windy or you're passing semi trucks etc.

Mate has something similar, but smaller scale. Uses it to maneuver loaded car trailer into a fairly tight garage, runs off a conventional lead acid car battery. I think they are targetted at the caravan market here, especially the grey nomads.
I have a power dolly that came with my stacker... supposedly rated for 10k gross weight. Looks like this:
Utterly useless on anything other than level pavement. Maybe the tracked ones work better, but I'd have to see it work to spend the $$$. I'd have been disappointed if I'd 'bought' the one I have.
Something I've been meaning to post here for a while and keep forgetting: If your tow vehicle or RV is diesel, you should look into the Open Roads fuel card. https://myopenroads.com/
No affiliation, but we've been using it for about 6 months, and it's saved us a lot of $$ and hassle. It's basically a fleet fuel card that you link to a bank account, and you can use it at the big truck pumps at most truck stops (Love's, TA, etc.), and even some smaller places like Maverik out West. It gives a significant discount over the pump price, and you don't have to go inside to pay (which you usually do with a normal CC). The discount varies, and they apply a small transaction fee, but you still end up getting a pretty good discount. The last time I used it, the pump price was $3.50 and we paid $3.16/gal including the fees. There's a phone app with a live map showing locations and current prices so it's easy to pick a fuel stop.
