Motorcycle Trailer Rentals Ideas?
At the end of May and early June, I'm planning vacation and want to trailer my bike. So far, I'm leaning toward a U-Haul motorcycle open-type trailer. I would rather have an enclosed trailer, but I can't seem to find one suited for motorcycles. Calling on the forum to lend me your advice/experience for ideas/recommendations.

Not sure if there are any options out there for an enclosed trailer that is suitable for motorcycles. I did a quick search and it showed this 6X12 from Uhaul with this in the description

I would assume by that it means there are tie down points in the trailer for a bike. It has a low deck height but does not mention if it comes with a ramp. May be something to look at
These cargo trailers can double as an enclosed motorcycle trailer; no rain, snow or flying rocks to chip the paint with this trailer

If you get the UHaul enclosed trailer, do not tell them you are using it for a motorcycle. I've never tried this but many have told me they will not let you do it.

Something I hadn't considered is perhaps doing a "wanted" listing on Craig's List [or similar]. Frankly, I would be inclined to "rent" my Kendon M/C trailer to someone I deemed to be "responsible". Good luck.

Be very careful with the U-Haul enclosed trailers. Most have "E" rail and/or wooden rails along the walls and NOT the floor. These are held to the side walls with very cheap small bolts/screws and will pull out the first time you make a turn. They are NOT intended to support the weight of a motorcycle. Speaking from a "very costly" experience.

This looks like a pretty good option. If the floor has wood planks (2" x 8"), I can put my own tie down rings in and fill the holes or replace the planks. Good recommendation...thanks brother!
