Was wondering what everyone would recommend at a minimum for the height and width for trailer parking. Making future plans to build something and not sure yet of style.

I currently have 7h x 7w trailer but I know someday I'll bump to another trailer. I'd like to leave myself future options and wouldn't want to pass up a good trailer because it wouldn't fit under my port because of possibility of a hay rack, air conditioner etc.

I'd consider in my next trailer going 8ft wide and 7"6 on height.  I'm thinking 14-15ft wide and 11-12ft height.

Thanks!

I would get 14 to 15" high also. Ours is aframe style so there is plenty of room to do stuff up on top of the LQ trailer. We are tall enough but wish we thought to order it wider as mine is only 12' wide on my big rig. I drive it in to park and straight out to leave. 

My other trailer shed is 12 tall and 24 wide but we sweat watching the AC get almost to the trusses everytime we jack the weekender up off of the Dodge. I cannot pull the big  trailer thru it or I would ding up the generator on top. So if the big trailer was under it. I would have to back it out.

if you can go to a trailer place that has the grand dad of trailers and measure that one and build to that size so some day you  could get a trailer like that
