Been to Carlisle many times. I took my van to sell a long time ago. We just bought 2 spaces. One for the van and one to lay the parts out. But this time we bought 3 side by side spaces. I understand they are about 10' wide by 30' deep. So I will have 1 30' x 30' space. We wanted to bring a load with our 20' car trailer pulled by my sprinter van. I was thinking and getting nervous about trying to back a car trailer in? I won't be able to drop the tailgate if there is another car directly behind in the next row? I don't think I can risk doing a pull through as the next row may be already in place? Plus how would I leave early if I wanted to? I don't think backing parallel to the aisles will work because the aisles are so narrow and I have to consider the van pulling it? I think you guys get the issue?? I told my son that is why we needed to buy maybe 4 or 5 apaces but they need to be back to back so we can just pull through with the whole mess? What have you guys done or any advice on this? Thanks...,
 
Arrive early, leave late, but more spots next time. Lots of ice and adult pops. Enjoy!

With that rig your not leaving early. LOL. You’ve been there many times, what more do you need to know?

if you just bought a spot then it’s a bad one nobody wanted. Maybe tight, or on the hill. Yep backing a trailer up hill is real fun, especially with 50 people walking by.

show up early!

I don't think you're going to have any issues BUT if you want to leave early you'll want to back in. You should still have room behind for the ramp. The aisles aren't really that narrow (but I suppose it depends on your skill backing up a trailer !! Just don't be an asshole by showing up in the middle of the day and driving down crowded aisles to get to your spot.
 
We went last year with my double cab tundra and a uhaul trailer (about 15' long), and there wasn't much real estate left when everything was parked. we had three spots and i could get out with the truck if the crowds were gone, but there wasnt any leaving early with a trailer. We just left the trailer there every night. It was one hell of a show!
