Default Car Trailer Advice

I'm thinking of buying an enclosed trailer to haul my 2000 Camaro, which I am bracket racing, to the track and my 1969 Camaro to shows if the forecast does not call for sunny skies.

As I would like to sleep in the trailer at the track.
I've established that I need 24 feet.
I also think an RV door, with an inner screen door, would be a great idea.

The inside of a trailer is only 8 feet wide.
With the cars being 6 feet wide, it only leaves 1 foot to get the door open and get out of the car.
That just cannot be done.

My options are a left side door or a winch.
The left side door appears to be the cheaper option at $500.

If I decide to go for the winch, what capacity should it be?
As the cars both weigh 3,600 pounds I need to pull them, not lift them.

I am towing with a 2011 Ram 1500 Shortbox 4x4.
I ordered the trailering package, when I bought it, and that included the brake controller.
Do I need a weight distribution hitch?
What about sway control?

Are there any other features I should look for or get?

I realize that you can make the wish list of features a mile long, but I am trying to keep the costs down as low as possible.

Thanks in advance.
