Enclosed Trailer Size

Took my Trike for its first Ironhorse ride this past weekend. I was very pleased with the towing experience. Here are a couple pictures of how it fits with the top open and closed.

I just ordered a leaf spring trailer(7x16) over torsion. Mine will be sitting over the winter, and found a couple of "internet" articles that stated the torsion style could start having a "memory" on the rubber bands used for the suspension, with sitting around loaded. Not quite sure about that.

Just picked up the trailer last week. Just finished putting in E-Tracks(15'each side).Freaking Illinois. After dropping over $500 :AGGHH:at the Secretary of State office(taxes, registration, title), they inform me, that, because it requires TC plates(fully loaded would weigh 7K), I have to have it, and my tow vehicle inspected every 6 months($20 ea.,truck & trailer, each time!!!)

Question, looking for ideas for a moveable wheel chock system. Thanks.
 
My dad and I have been pulling a 7x12 V-Nose, with both his Canyon and my Tundra there has been no weight distribution bars needed. Only time you need those is if the tow vehicle is a little light for the task at hand and squats to much.

In this picture my 2012 Goldwing Hannigan is in the trailer, truck sits level with a 1,300 lb trike in the trailer.

What is the position of the trike in the trailer relative to the front axle? I purchased a 7X14 v-nose tandem axle trailer to haul my Hannigan Gen II Goldwing trike. Now I am trying to determine the best location for the front wheel chock. Any help based on your experience would be appreciated.
