We hauled a 430 and a Radical in a 28 foot enclosed Continental Trailer. It was the max width allowed ,,,, 8'-6" The 430 fit between the trailer wheelwells, but you had to climb out (over )the window as the door could not be opened. With the longer trailer you are looking at this may not be a problem if the cars load so the door clear the trailer wheelwells. watch your tongue weight. We laoded the Radical rear end first so it engine weight was on the front of the trailer. The 430 was also loaded backwards, so in this case its engine was over the trailer axles. It towed great. also for your "one person " loading, I made tire block spacer bars. These were 4 x 4 inch wood beams full width of the trailer,minus 1 inch. Each wood beam was connected to the next beam with the correct length steel tubing (2) to form a full width beam,, tubing,, beam. We test loaded the trailer with both cars and insured the weight was correct and it towed correctly, then we measured how much distance was needed between each car at the tire, we cut the tubing and hole sawed into the beam at the proper depth. Wood beam connected to the next wood beam spaced with the tubing (2) in between each beam. So, now loading was like this. place front beam setup at the trailer front wall, load the radical so its tires were on that beam, place the next beam setup at the front wheels of the Radical, back the 430 tires up to that beam setup,place the next beam setup at the front tires of the 430. they reached to the rear door of the trailer. Each car was spaced correctly, every time, then we used ratchet straps to the trailer floor hold downs custom mounted for this setup. we could load both cars, strap them down and close the trailer doors in 2 to 3 minutes. Worked great.
