TRAILER TO TOW SPYDER

[Marauder]

Does anyone have a suggestion for either rental or purchase of a trailer to get the Spyder back to NH this spring from FL?

Thanks:helpsmilie:

Whatever you do, rental or purchase, be sure to measure the clear opening at the ramp end. It takes a pretty wide trailer. Most rentals are not wide enough at the ramp. Also be sure the ramp is long enough to ease the angle, or else raise the tongue to load or buy some planks to use as ramp extensions. The Spyder is low and may scrape or hang up when going from the ramp to the flat trailer.

There's the Amtrak Auto Train... you'd have to ride a bit though. OTOH it'll make it an adventure. Call to confirm their ground clearances and ramp angles to make sure a Spyder will load.
