RE: ? about trailering
Daytona, leaving March 2, weather in Indy, not riding weather....probably would not be good until Southern Tennessee or even down into Georgia.......plus 6 of us going, and want to make good time. Have a trailor storage facility outside of Daytona. Summer rallys, riding all the way
that is half the fun anyway

Trailers at rallies take up too damn much parking space!
Summer, rally? Ride, for God's sake!

"And if you have any other pics, from the sides.....post em if you do not mind, it is the first trailoring I have done and just want to do it well"
Here 'ya go Sean.
It is a tandem axel 25' overall 19' flatbed. Electric breaks, 2 7,000 lb. axels. We bought it about 20 years ago to tow the dirt bikes, 3wheelers, and then Quads. Also hauled a couple of cars. The chocks were about $20.00 and are quick release. If you don't have chocks, use a tie down to keep the wheel from sliding sideways. I bought a bunch of 2" ratcheting tie downs on sale from Harbour Freight.

Do you recommend bakes?, the trailor has them, but we do not have a controler, can put one in. As far as tie downs, bought a pair at Wally world, ratchet 1100lbs work load and 3300lbs breaking strength, find the same types about every store I have gone to except lower work loads. Think we are just going to nail down some 2*4's to make around the front wheels unless I can find some chocks.

RE: ? about trailering
The 2 x 4's will work, anything to keep the wheels from slipping. I like the breaks, with 4 bikes and the weight of the trailer they do help. I think my controller was about 30 bucks and only took about an hour to install. I think your Dodge came with a round trailer plug, my old Dodge pick-up did.
Hope this helps, have a fun ride.

Yes, helps alot. No trailor pak on the Durango, and no quick connect for the controller but, I can wire it up, looks pretty simple......Thanks

Where does this plug in at? Looked under the dash and couldn't find any place to plug it.......is it the main harness off the fuse box? That would help greatly
