Getting a trailer!

[PrairieSpyder]

I'm off in a few minutes to pick up a used RT622 trailer. It will be about a 16 hour day, but I'm really excited to get it. I just hope it's like the seller said it was. Then I'll get the hitch installed on my RTS on Friday.

:2excited:

You'll love the trailer. The hitch is a breeze to install. It looks much more complicated than it really is. One bolt and 5 minutes is all it takes.

With paying for the trailer (even at a bargain) & the hitch, I won't be doing any more farckling this year, Bob. :sour:

Well, the dealer estimates 2-3 hours. I think just booting now hitch would be easy, like you say. But they will also install all the electronics, too.

I just had a trailer hitch installed the other day and it took a tad less than 30 minutes even with me quizzing the tech from time to time. He did mention that the old round plug hitches would take quite a bit longer to install.

I hope you didn't buy that trailer that was used for "testing" :yikes: that was in a thread here last week. It looked like it had been used in atomic bomb testing.

I think you will love the trailer I know I love mine.

No, it wasn't that one! :barf: That was a bargain I couldn't afford!

I just got home with it. Arrived about an hour after sundown, and I hadn't hooked it up to my car lights. About 3 miles from home a sheriff pulled out behind me, so I drove on my best behavior. He must have other things on his mind than my lack of trailer lights, and I made it home with out incident, though really tired. Pics later.

No. My Spyder is red & the trailer is black. But it will look OK. If/when i can afford wraps, I have some ideas to make them look like a real set, meant to go together.

 

[lyonsden]

It will look great and you will love the trailer. I really enjoy mine!

I was worried ....

Glad to read this post. I was worried because I thought you were just going to tie it to your Spyder with a rope and tow it home because you didn't have your hitch installed.

622 trailer

What hitch are you installing on your :spyder2: ? and why?

I am curious about what is the best hitch for a 2011 RS~S?

1. GIVI frame mount?
2. BRP Swing arm mount?
I don't mean to Hyjack your thread, just curious of your choice

 

[PrairieSpyder]

I'm getting whatever hitch the Spyder dealer sells.
