Enclosed trailer....
Looking to get into an inexpensive enclosed trailer for my F3.
Anyone find any great deals out there?
Spyder #1 - 2008 GS SM5 Premier Edition #1977. RIP after 80,000 miles.
Spyder #2 - 2012 RT SM5. Traded in after 24,000 miles.
Spyder #3 - 2015 F3 SM6. Put 13,000 miles on and sold it.
Spyder #4 - 2017 F3 SM6. Too good of a deal to pass up!

Trailer for what? Towing behind the Spyder or loading the Spyder into for towing behind your bus/motor home/truck????
I modified an inexpensive Pace 7x12 to accommodate the wyder Spyder. >CLICK ME<

Kudo's on the trailer traction issue …… What I did was to dimple ( with a large nail ) some 26ga.galvanized sheet metal 6" X 10' ( and screwed it onto my center ramp ), it looks like a " cheese " grater :roflblack…...I put my Spyder on my trk for long distance travel.( see my album on this ) .... I climb 30 in. on 10 ft ramps …. I have done this in the pouring rain, and it has NEVER slipped...………. those shingles have decent traction, but are fragile ……………...Nice DIY tho ….. Mike

Hey Bor
I got the same response from a cousin who said "You don't wanna use shingles, they will wear out!" But, he's a guy that will use a 6x6 beam when a 2x6 would be overkill. I load the Spyder twice a year into it. I can replace the shingles easily but I've never had to in the last 3 years. Your cheese grater is a good idea except I use this trailer as living quarters from time to time and the sharp metal might be a hazard. Shingles not so much. Great idea tho

Thanks , but like I said I have to climb a very steep incline, and sometimes in Bad weather ….. so the shingles are not an option for me...… Mike
