Also - if you use the same type of trailer I was using, the engine of the Boxster set right between the trailer axles. It was a very balanced ride.

Here's bringing my '02S back from Tulsa. It was only a couple hour trip, but it came home just like this.

Once you load it, you'll play hell getting the doors open. Better to drop the top and go out over the top.
Yeah, I agree: covering seems like a bad idea to me. Without something to protect it, would quickly wreak havoc with the paint. [PW, what kind of "paper" you referring to, as far as protection? Anything not actually stuck to the paint is gonna flap in the breeze..]

I see the problem with getting the door open. One would have to have a lot of faith in the weather forecast to go top down! One possibility: Pull the car onto the trailer, put the top up, latch it, open the driver's side window, climb out, being careful not to scuff the door paint on the way out. The window can then be closed by the key in the door lock technique.
