I would check your local Craig's List.I have seen similar trailers for between $1500-2000and with low or near nothing miles on them.
I also would not have one all painted up advertising to would be bad guys what you have inside.Besides all that extra logo paint is about $1000-$1500 more cost.

Might as well say STEAL ME !!

 

[Marv1]

lol , I know you can get them with out all the garb added on .

 

[TNTriker]

Don't know about the company, but we did buy a trailer from someplace in GA, that was very well made. There are several companies down there that make trailer, and they are made locally. Love the Harley trailer!

Lowe's sells enclosed trailers. I sold 2 last year. If you are a VET u get 10% off too!

The trouble with a 10 ft trailer is it doesn't give you much wiggle room.You might have to move the trike back and forth to get your tongue weight right and with a 10 footer you don't have much room for doin that.

Marv1, I have this one and it is a 7x14. You get a lot more room for a little more $$$. I had a 7x12 before this and it worked ok for bikes, but not the trike and all the stuff I usually carried. I bought this from a dealer near Cuba, MO.<br />

Not only does the extra length come in handy, but as you can see by his pictures this trailer is a tandem axle. Not only can you carry a heavier load but you also have the additional safety factor in case one tire blows out or goes flat. You can keep going for awhile and have more stability, imho.

Marv1, This Trailer you are looking at will be perfect for your Triglide. We had a 6X10 V-nose we bought from TrailersForLess.com in Newnan, Ga. They also have a Dealer in Fayetteville, GA. It held my wife's 2010 SG Trike with room to spare. The V-nose let's you go far enough forward as to not have any problem's with tongue weight. We pulled this Trailer to Florida a couple of times and Myrtle Beach, SC a few times. Never had a tire problem!

The 7X10 you are looking at will give you room for extra's.

Good luck!

I have a 6X12, two years old. Fits Harley trike fine.
Motorcycle mural all around the inside. Carpet on floor. Finished ceiling. Wheel chock, tie downs in floor and walls. Storage cabinet in front, up top.
Has ramped rear door, side door, spare tire. If you are interested, I'll get some pics up.
$3500 is the asking, it's finished ready to roll, solid silver-gray outside.

Pictures show single axle, but discription is of a dual axle....

I like tandem axles, my dad picked this Haulmark up and it pulls like a dream. A couple weeks ago we made a 900 mile round trip to take my 06 Ultra to the tuners, had some pretty decent wind gust which were a non issue.

 

[rmrc51]

Here's the trailer I've had my eye on for some time now. It's also down in Georgia, has all the bells and whistles and the price clearly reflects that. A bit too expensive! (click on ebay link below) :AGGHH:

Tandem axles are nice if you need the extra room for maybe two bikes and extra's. Adds a lot more weight and cost in fuel. We only had one touring bike when I bought the 6X10 single axle shown below. It didn't drop my fuel mileage towing it very much. When we got the wife's Trike and wanted to take both bikes, I moved up to a 7X16 for a short while, then on to the Toyhauler we have now. If you keep your weight forward, the single is very stable while towing.

Most of these trailers are good to haul in being single or tandem. But take a look underneath and you will notice semi bare wood (floor is usually 3/4" thick) and very light weight cross metal supports. Eventually the floor will sag with trike weight. I use a similar trailer but have learned to beef up floor (welding additional 2" angle iron at point of trike rear wheels etc. across trailer, along side of existing light weight metal beams) and then spray all underneath with either bed liner spray or flex seal. Trailer will last for years of wear and use.

In my experience , I would go for the dual axle model for a better towing feel. More stability for a few hundred more dollars.

I have a 7x14 NEO V-Nose single axle w/independent suspension. I have pulled that thing to the east coast and through the Rocky Mountains more than once. The best towing trailer I have ever had, and I have had a few.

I asked a question about trailers on the HD Forum and there were some very favorable comments about Iron Horse trailers. Expensive but maybe you get what you pay for. I'm not doing anything till spring but right now I'm leaning toward the Iron Horse.

Yeah - I was also looking at the Iron Horse trailers and then I came across "The Ultimate Trailer" http://the-ultimate-trailers.com/ They are air lowering and look like the cat's meow - although I know of absolutely no one that has ever had one! Really thinking about one or the other - the air lowering really is my choice right now b/c of the ease of loading and unloading. It'd be hell though if the pump ever gave out in the middle of nowhere!

Anyone have any experience with these trailers?

I am on my 4th trailer for M/C's and have to suggest looking at the "LEGEND" all aluminum trailers. The model 714LRV is a low profile tandem axle that is absolutely beautiful and very well engineered. Perfect fit for the trike. Located wheel chock to have 330 lbs on tongue when loaded. They certainly have the finest quality and fit of the many trailers I researched. I made a XL spreadsheet of the several models that appealed to me and will be happy to share it if anyone is interested. Email canman945@gmail.com

Just remember you need to take about 1600lbs off of the weight capacity before you put anything in it. I brought one of the same and by the time you put your Trike in it, you are not far from the limit. Anything over the limit and you will be buying tires pretty often. Oh by the way the 1600lbs is the weight of the trailer EMPTY

Thanks DTR11TG. I didn't post the link as it seemed too "promotional" but you have the correct link. Look under these aluminum frame trailers and you will see how well they designed the reinforced torsion axle mounting area. I have no connection with the company, however, they responded to a chrome axle hub issue by advising a change to stainless. Trailers are pricey but look at the resale values, wow.

I recently ordered at 7x12 wedge for my Trike. The Triglide is very narrow, only about 54 inches so it will fit thru the door of a 6x10 or 6x12 easily. Get the wedge. More storage and easier to handle. I would recommend electric brakes. The cost is minimal if ordered new. Depends on how much weight you plan to haul. I have a Trike that is 63 inches wide in the rear, so I needed a 7x12. A lot will depend on what you are pulling the trailer with.

My dealer told me the folks in southern Georgia who builds trailers down there, and there are dozens and dozens of manufacturers down there make a different product than some the manufacturers up around Northern Indiana.

I ordered a new RC Trailer, 7x12, wedge, with electric brakes, spare tire and rim, with 6 D rings and stabilizer bars for $3300.00 and picked my color. From what I learned in my research, many of these trailer companies don't last very long and then if you need warrantee service you are stuck. Go with a reputable dealer and brand name. From what I learned, some companies install studs 24 on center even though they advertise 16 inches. Stay away from them.

Best of luck and have fun. Researching t

I tried to contact them a couple of years ago and had little luck. I did get a contact person this year but when I asked for buyers to contact 2 years ago I finally got 2 names after many weeks and neither that I called said they would buy it again. Very pricey!

That sounds like a great deal, I have been looking to maybe downsize from my 8.5x28 V-Nose to a 12 or 14 footer, can you tell me the dealer you are using. I have looked at a couple of the RC Trailers and they seem to be well made, I also like the idea of a trailer made in Indiana.
