would prefer to have my spyder covered. To be a 2022 s2s. Not sure if it will fit in a 6x 10 covered trailer with a lay down back door. Any advice , brand or consideration would be helpful. thank you

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
After advice on which covered trailer for hauling Spyder?

My 19 RTL (same size as your STS) would not fit through the door opening on my 6X12 enclosed trailer. Turns out the trailer was 6 feet wide to the outside of the walls. Subtract wall thickness, door frame, and door seal and the spyder won't go in. Measure very carefully before you buy. I bought a 7X14 tandem axle all aluminum and am very happy with the extra room and towing stability with tandems. YMMV.

I also use a 7x14 Haulmark tandem all aluminum trailer. It pulls great handels the Spyder perfectly and extras I want to put in there. It also loads easily thru the ramp door at the back

:chat: A 7' X 14' size is a good choice. I went with a V nose style trailer and 6' 5" height. I wanted to have some stow area and extra head room.
Be sure you plan for what you will need before you buy. ..... : )

We have used a 7' wide for many years: when we first bought an enclosed trailer, the 6' wide were really tight getting through the door and didn't allow for walking and maneuvering around the front end when in the trailer. The 7' wide would allow to move around the front end while loaded: nice for tie down and stowing gear.
You didn't ask, but... I preferred a tandem axle trailer. It didn't seem to add a lot of rolling resistance, therefore lesser effect on fuel mileage, but gave a smoother ride and pull. I preferred a lower profile for less wind resistance. Our last trailer was 6-1/2': ample room for 5'11" me in boots to stand up except when passing through the loading ramp door. We have had an Expedition v-nose 7x16, a Haulmark square-nose 8-1/2x18 (the monster), and an Aluma all-aluminum v-nose 7x16. The 7x16 would haul two F3 model Spyders load end-to-end, one with a trailer hitch, but space was tight. The Spyder itself is close to 9' in length, I would suggest a minimum of 14' length: the longer trailer will pull straighter, the pull vehicle/trailer combo will fit into a typical park lot double length space, and you will have the extra room for gear.
Prices have changed/increased over the years, but my recommendation would be a low-profile, all-aluminum, 7' wide, tandem axle, v-nose trailer. Another member suggested the type of trailer with a liftable, fiberglass clamshell (??Ironhorse) that would be interesting to view: would have just about everything except copious cargo space.
Just my thoughts.
