Default Trailer size.

I know this can go other places... But it is for both my 18+ softails. 😊 I want to get an enclosed trailer to travel with the bikes. I'm not buying for other reasons, although plenty of uses for trailers.... Is a 12ft enough to easily do 2 bikes? (LRST & Street Bob) Yes, bikes are only 7ft, but for those that have actually trailered bikes and know what that looks like.... 12ft or 14ft? Definitely 7ft wide.

Thank you.

I had a 7x14 and it would easily hold a touring model and a Softail. The biggest problem is tying down the second bike. If you're young and skinny it is much easier. With the 14' you can come in the side door and reach every thing with the bikes staggered. You might be able to do the same in a 12'. PM me, I know someone that has a 14' he wants to sell.

Exactly... We can pack almost anything in anywhere... But what's easy? Seems like staggering would be better... As opposed to like dirt bikes that can go side by side in a 6ft. With this I can mounts stands and tracks and do it easy.

I like my 8.5x18 enclosed cargo trailer. Getting it setup for bike hauling now. It was our stealth camper.

Ya, that should be enough room. 😊
