Enclosed Trailer

[Woody]

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.

I had this issue with my 16 foot trailer, after I bent the crossmember back in place I started putting a 2x10 in the floor for the rear wheels of the trike to sit on spanning the weight across two crossmembers.

Just remember you need to take about 1600lbs off of the weight capacity before you put anything in it.

I have always thought the capacity rating was the actual load that could be added and did not include the weight of the vehicle/trailer:Shrug:

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

Hey canman, I did shoot you an email requesting your trailer spreadsheet but never received it. I don't know if there was a cyber hiccup on my end or yours but I would still like to see it. Maybe you could attach it to a post. Thank you.

I figured I'd post this item here as well. I'm selling my 7 x 12 tandem axle enclosed trailer. Description and photos are in the attached link. Price reduced to $4,000.00

Unfortunately, the trike will be up for sale soon due to medical issues,,,.

Hey KJB I just came across your comment regarding the spreadsheet for trailers.

It's likely way too late to send it again but if you still need it please let me know. We are camping over Labor Day weekend so I am not sure if I can find it in the archives but I know it's on a memory stick.
