The Aerovault MKII is a lightweight, aerodynamically optimized car trailer crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum for optimal strength and fuel efficiency. It features a spacious interior with adjustable tie-downs, non-skid flooring, and a winch for easy loading. Additionally, the Aerovault MKII is equipped with independent torsion axles, providing a smooth ride and better stability on the road. The full-width rear door serves as a ramp, and independent torsion axles ensure a smooth, stable ride. Showing approximately 4,500 miles , this 2018 example is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Kansas.
Mounted on a semi-monocoque chassis and body, the Aerovault MKII is constructed from lightweight yet durable sheet and tubular aluminum combined with composite materials. Its streamlined, aerodynamic exterior is designed to minimize drag and enhance towing efficiency. Standard features include flush-mounted doors, integrated LED lighting, and a full-width rear door that also serves as a ramp. Other equipment includes two extended ramps, two 16-foot-long strips, a trailer cover, and a hitch lock. Additional details include a white-finished roof and fenders, along with Carlisle Radial Trail tires from 2017, which are reported to be in good condition. The sale will include a set of four aluminum wheels with Carlisle Radial Trail 8-ply tires from 2019, which have been driven approximately 400 miles.
The interior features a spacious layout with adjustable tie-down points to accommodate various vehicle sizes. The flooring is non-skid, providing traction and stability for both the vehicle and the individuals loading it. The interior also includes a built-in winch system for effortless vehicle loading and unloading. a GPS tracking system (subscription not included) is also equipped.
The Aerovault MKII uses independent torsion axles for its suspension system. This design features individual torsion bars within each axle, which absorb road shocks and provide a smoother, more stable ride compared to traditional leaf spring systems, enhancing the trailer’s handling and the protection of the vehicle being transported. The trailer equips a heavy-duty Bulldog hitch with a 2 5/16” ball, rated for 12,500 pounds, supporting a maximum towing capacity of 7,000 pounds. The sliding collar ensures a secure connection with clear visibility of the lock status. It includes coiled safety cables rated at 7,000 pounds each, which maintain proper length and prevent slack. Additionally, a brake safety cable is provided to engage the trailer’s electric brakes and bring it to a controlled stop if it becomes fully disconnected from the tow vehicle.
This sale will include a clean title, a battery for the winch, and a rear-view camera with a wireless monitor.
The seller would like you to know: “Thank you for visiting my auction. This trailer is the best handling trailer I have ever owned. There is no swaying, even when passing a semi with 60 mph crosswinds. I have owned this trailer since February 2019 and use it to haul Porsche 911's, GT3's and GT3 RS's. The trailer wheel bearings have been maintained, and the tires have been covered with UV-protected wheel/tire covers. The reason for selling: I am purchasing the larger Aerovault model so that a Porsche tractor can be hauled.”

Also, there are two lights inside the trailer, one at the front and one at the back of the trailer. Each light has it's own switch by the front door on the drivers side.
@GRIFF. No water intrusion. Even when I wash the trailer, no water gets in the trailer. All doors have good gaskets.
It is nice that when you are traveling or at a car show, your car is protected from the elements. At a car show, it helps that you don’t have clean your car before the show if it rains over night or if there was heavy dew.

Have you had any water intrusion while the trailer is sitting, or while pulling on a trip?
One more photo, there is an extra winch cable included.

Geez, let's see if I can get this right. You will not be disappointed.
I added two new photos that show you the wireless winch remote, the corded winch control, and the built in winch control in case you forget or lose the other two controllers, you can still operate the winch.

Maybe I can get my military discount on this auction lol :)
Sorry, yes you NOT be disappointed.
I think you ment to say, you won’t be disappointed in an Aerovault trailer.
Good morning, everyone. I will try to answer any questions that you may have in these final hours. If you have not looked into the cost of a new Aerovault trailer, the base cost for this same trailer is $37,990 and the accessories push the price to almost $43,000. You will be disappointed in an Aerovault trailer.
@GRIFF. I see you found the previous answers to your questions. Just to clarify, the Baby Moons are new and have never been installed. The second set of wheels are the upgraded aluminum wheels and tires. The new Aerovault trailer I am getting will come with the aluminum wheels and tires.
I see now below why 2 sets of wheels.
Do the moon disc hubcaps fit the provided wheels? Are they in good shape? Why 2 sets of wheels? Thank you.
@SimonSays. I measured the rear door opening height as 58-1/2”, the roof curves, so interior height is 68” in the center and 65” at the outer sides, which is over at the wheel wells.
It's a little confusing to see what kind of height there is, usable, on pictures 30+31. Seeing how the roof is somewhat vaulted, and the rear door doesn't reach all the way to the top, what kind of height can you drive into the trailer? The 199" front to back length is clear enough, but for height, it's hard to tell from the description.

@Greggory. You can do both. The tracks allow you to strap down over the wheels or strap to the frame or through the wheels. The D rings allow you to strap to the frame or through the wheels.
Bid in the amount of $16,500
Do you strap down with over the tire style or soft-ties through frame or suspension points with ratcheting straps?

@Scheldog. Go to photos 30 and 31 and you can see the dimensions. As for how large a vehicle it will hold, depends on what vehicle you are planning to put in the trailer. The biggest car I put in the trailer was a Porsche 911 GT3 RS, which is very wide and has a large rear spoiler. The dimension information included in the photos will help you determine how large a vehicle you can get in the trailer.
How large a vehicle will it hold? What's the max length, width, and height?
@Gaviglio. Sorry, the straps are not included. I am keeping them for my new Aerovault trailer. The straps that Aerovault sells are an accessory and are not included as part of the trailer. It is cheaper to buy the straps direct from Mac's.
This question is for @PCarMarket:
Is this trailer classified as a ‘vehicle’ (5% buyers fee) or a ‘non-vehicle’ (10% buyers fee) for purposes of this auction?
Thanks
Are the tie down straps included?
@2doors. It is a Standard.
@Clubsport88
Picture 31 refers to a Standard Model and a T model. Which one is this?
I think it’s the T as it appears to have more headroom but pls confirm. Thanks.
@Upshift4. Look at photos 15, 17, and 18. There are 2 tracks on the floor. There are 4 D Rings in the floor, two at the front, two at the back.
how do you tie down the car? i do t see and floor hooks or tracks in the photos.
@Silversun262. The steel wheels were the wheels that came with the trailer and I just didn't put the Baby Moons on. Then I bought a set of the upgraded Aluminum wheels use from another Aerovault owner that put Fuchs wheels on his trailer. Then I decided to move up to the larger Aerovault trailer and they come with the Aluminum wheels, so, I decided to include the Aluminum wheels with this trailer.
Been looking at these for a while now. Why you running steel wheels vs the OEM wheels?

@badboybuses. Good question. So, if you go to the Aerovault website, you will see videos on how to load and unload the vehicle. But, to explain it, you winch the vehicle into the trailer. There is a hand switch inside the trailer up by the front door, and there is a wireless remote controller that you can use so you can stand outside the trailer and winch the vehicle in. I sit up front of the shelve and with the remote control in hand watch the vehicle get pulled in. The small doors up front allow you to get in and out of the trailer for watching the vehicle get pulled in and to be able to strap the front of the vehicle down. I'm 6'-3" and have no problem getting in and out of the doors. As for removing the vehicle, I stand outside the trailer at the back, and with the remote control, use the winch to safely roll the vehicle out of the trailer. When people watch you load and unload the vehicle, they say that is the slickest way they have seen a vehicle loaded and unloaded. You don't have to climb out the window and stand on the seat to get out.
This is a fantastic looking trailer! However it looks like it might be a bit of a challenge attaching a vehicle down in front through a small door on each side. It also appears there’s no driving a vehicle into it as you likely wouldn’t be able to open a door to exit. So how do you extract the vehicle that’s transported inside? I’m guessing you have to release the winch attachment and pull the vehicle out by hand and keep it from rolling away once it hits that ramp. Could you please give a brief explanation on the loading and unloading process? Thanks in advance.
Welcome everyone to my auction. If you have any questions about the trailer, I will do my best to answer them in a manner.
