We have a 7x12 v-nose and it fits good in it with room to spare. You want room to get around it to tie it down, ect.

7 by 12 has been the overwhelming majority answer in all the many times this question has been asked before.. That size provides not only clearance but some comfort and operating room for securing the bike.

7 X 12 V-nose for behind most vehicles. 7 X 14 behind motorhome with rear slide.

I agree. A 6 foot wide trailer is too narrow. 72 inches wide. Spyder is 60 inches plus two door jams at 5 inches each plus lift cables two at 1 inch each total 72 inches. That's a problem.

Plenty of room for a GS, And if down the road you trade the GS in for a wider RT that will fit also.

I use a 7x12 v-nose, too. Plenty of room to spare, or haul a bike, too. You could even live with a 6.5 or 7 foot x 12 flat-front trailer...or maybe a 10 footer, if the inside dimensions fit. Easier to load and tie down, the wider the door is, though. It is nice to have room to adjust the positioning for optimal tongue weight, with a bit more length. The critical measurementts are the clear door width, the width between the door cables (if any) and the clear width at the wheels.

7 X 10 V nose
We have a 7 X 10 V-nose and it has more that enough room inside and the single axle is more that enough too, the 7 x 12 would give you extra room, if you want to load all your riding gear in the trailer with the Spyder.
