Default Trailer size

I am looking at buying a trailer to fit my Ultra and my wifes sporty. Has anyone else have this combo and a trailer?
I live on a mile and a half of a gravel road. Nice not having nieghbours but a pain in spring and fall on the bikes when everyone is riding.
Would probably use it 10-12 times a year.
Was thinking 7x10 v-nose.
Any feedback would be appreciated

I friend of mine traded a few times until he finally felt good with a 14 foot V-nose aluminum.

He staggers the two bikes and it leaves enough room to work around them. It also leaves plenty of room for haulin' extra STUFF!

I have 7x12 v-nose tandem trailer set up for 2 baggers with plenty of room for stuff in the front. The size is perfect.

The 7X14 is a good choice. I rented one last year for my SG and my friends RG. Keep them staggered and you'll have about 2inches between both fairings and the walls.

7X12 would be perfect for two bikes, I have it's great. It has actually room to spare. 7X14 would be nicer, but you definitely do not need the extra room it affords.

I have a 7x12 and have no problem loading 2 baggers. The nose isn't V, its more rounded.
