Hi,

We are purchasing an e4 and as it measures 11 feet bumper to number, I was thinking i would need a 6x12 trailer, but am curious on what others that have trailers use.

Yes, a 10 footer is 6" short unless you remove the hood.

Always tow with the GEM facing forward. Otherwise, the windshield will fall out when you get up to speed. Chain it down. I have never trusted the GEM parking brake.
