Default Trailering a tour bike

Anyone ever use a snow mobile trailer. Does a full dresser fit?

Not exactly a snowmobile trailer.
I think what the OP was asking about is one of those flat open jobs with the tiny wheels. While a dresser may fit on one it would not be my first (or 10th) choice.

Usually, an enclosed snowmobile trailer is higher. The wheels are under the trailer without wheel wells.The ramp would be steeper and the ramp crest would be sharper. Depending on the ramp clearance, you may have to jack the front up pretty high to clear.

Depends on the trailer... Something like the Triton I have whereas the 10" wheels are under it is not something I would put the bagger on for a long haul, but maybe to get from point A to point B in a pinch, sure..
If it's a drive-in/out style trailer with 14" tires or up & more like an enclosed cycle trailer anyhow, sure thing. My 2 Cents....

Well I picked up my new enclosed snowmobile trailer that evidently isn’t a snowmobile trailer by some standards, it’s going to haul motorcycles too!

I had one of those snowmobile trailers with the wheels under it, also called a “Deckover” , it was a Featherlite, new trailer is a Aluma.

From the looks of it, you could ride the bike into the back of the trailer, then lower the right front door and ride it out as well. No backing that bike on either exercise... Nice trailer.

I'm digging that front trailer ramp door. The steep angle on the V front probably rows pretty nice too. No such animal as a "snowmobile trailer" in these parts. I just use an open 7.5x14 open dovetail trailer. I'd like to put a debris block front on it similar to those on an open car hauler.
