Cheapest Toyhauler for two bikes
#31
I have a Work & Play Toyhauler by Forrest River.
They are a great, quality trailer. Mine has a 28' box. I wanted a 5th wheel, but I already owned the 2500 Ram. While the Cummins can pull a small city, the payload would have been maxed out by the pin weights of the 5th wheelers I was looking at.
I found the bumper pull Work & Play, bought a quality load leveling hitch, and I can barley tell this trailer is behind my truck...
It has a separate garage, which is good. I use the garage for a Harley or two, then when I get there, the garage becomes a big old doghouse for my Great Danes......
It's a fun way to travel...!!
This is the garage with the bike, and the dogs waiting their turn......
The dogs finally with their own room...

I have a very similar work and play. It's just a little shorter and the garage is not separate from the coach.
My trike drags when it breaks over the ramp most of the time. I raise the tongue up as high as I can or try to park where the ramp is on an little higher ground or bank,to over come this. I thought about getting a arched ramp and add to the ramp door. Have you had any problems with this?

I have seen places that make vehicle loading ramps, that fit under the drop down door, raising it off the ground, to decrease the angle at the top... unfortunately, with a trike you would need 3, and they aren't always cheap.
Race ramps probably makes the lightest set, but also a little pricey...

I have not experienced this problem with an Limited FLHTK, a Heritage FLSTCI, or a Springer FXSTS... i usually load & unload mine while the trailer is still attached to the truck, for stability.

The 3rd set of straps I use as they recommend. One on the left side (passenger peg/floorboard best) I hook one and take it over the seat and then slightly forward. It balances the bike and keeps it form from tipping. None of the straps compress the suspension to a big degree, allowing the bike to ride on it's own suspension. They discuss this method on their website.
And for whatever reason, I will also add two straps to the rear of the bike, and then to the rear floor mounts, to guarantee no side to side movement....
