what size enclosed trailer
hey guys im not sure if this is in the right area but my question is what size enclosed trailer should I get for my bike and maybe another bike? im looking at a 6x12 but not sure that's wide enough for my street glide and maybe a lil sporty for the wife(that bike is in the works for a year or 2 down the road). mine will be getting raked for a 26 next year, I already got rear fender on that stretches back 8" that's why I figured a 12' but unsure the width. the trailer would only be used for going from rv park to rv park that way I can take the bike home when im off and to save wear and tear on the truck. thank you for your thoughts randy

If you plan on putting a t-bagger and a XL in the same trailer think about weight distribution, and consider a tandem axel trailer, at the very least 12" x 7"...trust me, available space will disappear quickly once you start putting bikes and camping equipment, or whatever you like to take with you... in it...I knew a pipeliner in NE TX has a 14"x8" for just his street Glide

Think about using it for other things when not hauling your bikes, more room is very useful. It doesn't cost much more for a 7 X 14 or ideally a 8'6" X 14 or 16. A 6 X 12 won't even haul much furniture or? I ended up with a 102" wide X 20'. I love the extra room and can haul 4 baggers if I want to.
But it also depends on your tow rig.

I live in a 30" toy hauler and bought a 6'x12 for my tools...spent $140. fabricating a hitch for the back of the TH...then I found some states (LA, FL) do not allow hauling triples...I pull it with a 97 3/4 ton 4wd Chevy 454...81,000 miles Flowmaster exhaust, K&N cold air intake...10 MPG loaded or empty...

techslap, dude you must be one little fellow to be able to live in a 30 " trailer. Good for you. As far as your sig yeah man I can dig what your sayin about no windshield , radio, heated gloves etc., but dude you trailer your bike. Come on really?

I will look at the other side of this, I have a 6'x12' single axle v nose. We have hauled two dressers in it several times, But 99 % of the time I just have my Electra Glide in it. I wish I had a smaller trailer, I pull the trailer from Iowa to Arizona every winter and get a whopping 10.3 mPG. If I had it to do over I would buy a 8' v nose , with a low profile. Probably would have paid for the trailer in gas savings by now.
