An enclosed trailer from Lowe's or Home Depot may come close to the price of the open aluminum trailer. Consider the advantages of what an enclosed trailer can provide you as apposed to an open trailer. I have a Rampage lift and I transported 2 wheel bikes without any issues. But I don't think I will purchase the accessories needed to upgrade to accommodate my spyder, I believe I will sell the rampage and go with an enclosed trailer either a drop tail type or just use ramps to load up. By the way, I won't have all the diehards pointing and laughing at me saying, 'hay look at the trailer queen.' :thumbup: :roflblack:
Rampage Loader in Pick-up
We, Travel in a motorhome and live in it 4 and 5 months a year. We tow an F150 w/4wd behind it. The last 3 years a 2012 Victory Vision was loaded in the truck using a Rampage Loader. The weight of the bike does not go on the tailgate, it is on the loader itself and that is bolted to the bed of the truck. That being said the Vision weighed in the neighborhood of 900lbs. Towed the whole thing behind a 40ft. motorhome and had zero problems with it. When we got to our destination, we had the best of both worlds. Get to go off roading in the F150 or take the bike out to enjoy the desert southwest! This year we will be taking our new to us 2014 Spyder RTS and staying 5 months near Big Bend National Park. We will have our home base and plenty of roads to travel on as well as a lot of 4WD trails to explore! Retirement is for enjoying what you can while you can! I seriously doubt hauling the Spyder backwards in the truck behind us will remove the windscreen. However we have a rearview monitor on the motorhome and can keep an eye on it. Will remove the windscreen if needed. It's not that difficult.
