Best way to trailer F3 Limited?
Too damn cold here in Ohio! Want to visit my brother in Florida, and take my 2019 F3 Limited. Checked out hauling service, round trip they charge $2000! (Don't want to buy the damn thing, just rent it!) Have searched the forum, but not found much help from Tractor Supply locally and U-haul opening for a 6X10 trailer not wide enough according to fellow Spyder ryders. Suggestions?
Thanks!

Try United Rentals.
I've been looking at their Tilt Bed trailers.
I may need to move an F3 from MO to NV.

Check out "U-Ship" and see what bids you get to do the job.

Before I even bought and paid for my 2017 F3L, I knew I wanted to be able to use it 12 months a year. I live in Ontario, Canada, and have a winter place in mid-Florida, so I was going to need a trailer. I was lucky, and found an aluminum, home-made rig, purposely built to haul the owner/designer's RTL. It was in good condition, 5 years old, and had been back and forth to FL each year. He decided to sell after moving up to a toy hauler. I paid for the trailer about 5 weeks before I ordered and bought the Spyder. No regrets whatsoever. I have now been back and forth 3 times myself, use it to haul to the nearest dealer - 80 minutes away - use as a utility trailer for hauling other stuff and occasionally haul bikes for others. It's an open rig and sits around doing nothing a lot of the time, but it's more than earned its keep over what I would have laid out in rental fees. Besides that, I would be uncomfortable entrusting my bike to just any shipper, not being certain how it was being handled, tied down, where it is and how it's kept. I'll likely get back close to what I paid, should I ever decide to sell. If you can afford to spend a few bucks extra, I'd be looking to buy a decent used rig; probably won't cost you a whole lot more, and you'll be entirely in control. If you splurge and buy an enclosed trailer, you can use as a storage place for your Spyder. Trailers are a fairly safe investment.

Stinger makes a Spyder trailer like that but folds up. 2,800 is to pricy thou.
