Towing my trike & Truck

[Monkei]

I am looking for feasible ways to tow my trike and my truck behind my RV. I have looked and talked to a couple of manufacturers who make tow dollies with 8X8 platforms between the tongue and the dolly wheel wells. The problem is, most trikes now are over 102" long. Since the trikes go up and face side to side with these tow trailers that would mean they would exceed the 102" wide federal law maximum. I don't want to go with a big trailer to put both the truck and the trike on but was thinking that maybe someone might have built something that allowed you to ramp the trike up between the wheels of the tow dolly so the trike would end up facing the same direction of the RV and thus not exceed the 102" maximum.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Keith I think you can get this for a trike.

Cruiser Ramp Pickup Loader

As Jim Ed suggested can U load ur trike into the bed of ur truck?? Also do not load ur trike where the windshield is not forward.. Friend loaded his backwards and it broke the windshield in half and messed up some other stuff, so be careful with the windshield...
Those loaders can be made for any size truck.. I talked to them about making one for my F-150 Supercrew, with the 5 1/2 ft bed, he said no problem..

Good luck..

I have a RAMPAGE and load my trike in the bed of my RamCharger. I tow my wifes Stallion in a trailer behind if we are not riding to where we are going

I have a Colorado Chevy Pickup, 4 wheel drive with 4 doors, so the truck bed is neither wide enough or long enough to hold this Yamaha Trike.

I am thinking the only way to go is the flatbed trailer, but the problem with them is what do you do when you get there.

I think if U check with rampage they can help U.... they build the life heavier so the weight of the rear tires is on the lift..ur front end of the trike should go into ur bed...without any problems??? Like I said above I only have a 5 1/2 foot bed on my supercrew and he told me he has made units for them...
Good luck in whatever U do....
