Yeah, yeah, I know, trailering is bullshit. Now that we have that out of the way, if it was up to me I would just ride around the country solo, but the wife has other ideas.

Thing is my wife is disabled and can't do long rides (with max comfort mods she is good for about an hour or two), but she really wants to do the RV thing. I can't sell her on the toyhauler (Motorhome style is too big for our driveway plus $$$, and for a trailer style toyhauler I would have to buy a truck which also puts us out of the budget).

Anyways I got to thinking if we're out there, rather than tow a car I could tow my bike and I could still get to do some cool rides at least. All the MH I looked at have enough towing capacity for the bike (or a small car) so I am not worried about that. We'll be getting a Class C (about 24 or 25').

I was looking at

or

for the Road King. I'll be doing all the work myself. It looks like too much extra work to get a lift on a Class C, so it will have to be a trailer. I thought about enclosed trailer but my driveway will already be tight with a MH in it, plus the kids will never move out of the house so we have all those cars as well.

Basically looking for general advice, gotchas, or anything else before spending money.

Thanks!

 

Here is an option I seen on the back of a motorhome, I thought was a cool idea.

Thanks. I think to begin with we will probably be doing a lot of "destination" camping rather than just wandering around the country, boondocking, etc. We'll both be noob RV people so we are buying smaller and used to start with. If we like it, then probably upgrade in five years or so.

If it wasn't for having to find a spot to store the enclosed trailer, that would probably have made the decision a lot easier.

 

Enclosed trailer is the only way to go...AND get a duel axle...if you have a flat with a single axle...with an RV you probably want even know it till someone pulls up beside you and waves...if you insist on getting one of those little mickey mouse trailers...at least rig a back-up camera where it is on all the time... so you can keep an eye on it

 

I saw that too, those are awesome. If we ever upgrade to a bus that would probably be my go to.

 

 

You won't recognize your bike towing an open bike trailer behind a MH. There is a negative pressure area behind a MH that sucks in all the road **** all over your bike.
Trust us, get an enclosed trailer. You will also need to find pull through RV spaces since you won't be able to see the trailer in your mirrors when you back up.

 

Man you have me completely confused.
Are you looking to mainly live at your house and make short trips in an RV and mainly concerned about parking yor RV and trailer at your residence.
Or extensive long term travel and stayying at RV parks and campgrounds.
In either case kick your grown kids out. Best decision you’ll ever make.

 

I have the Kendon dual ride up. Excellant trailer and you dont even know its behind you. Has a footprint of 30" x 7' when stood up. I only use it twice a yr, so storing an enclosed wasnt desired. That Alum trailer looks nice! Don't have one, so cant comment on it.
