Enclosed trailer questions

[jwulf74]

For those that have put Spyders in enclosed trailers, what size will fit 2? Will a 7x14 cut it? Is there a need to strap them down inside? Or just use wheel chocks that are mounted solid?

I have a 7 X 16. With other things we carry I think 2 would be a stretch in it.

WHEEL CHOCKS

For two Spyders six would work......However hitting a bad bump would probably end up doing damage. As far as tying them down, I only use one heavy duty rachet strap placed over the rear tire ( in-line ) and two side blocks on the front tires. I have had two fairly serious vehicle incidents and the Spyder never moved.......cost of one Strap about $ 5.00......Mike

I have a 7X12X7 the height is so you don't have to duck on it when you climb off the :spyder2:. That being said I wish I had brought a 14 or 16' long just for the extra room. I strap mine down like brp recommends hadn't had a problem when hauling it. I thought I would be hauling it more but it is just too fun to ride. So when I not riding the :spyder2: sits in it.

The Spyder will fit in anything 6 x 10 and over. It just depends on how much room you want for other stuff and to get off and on the Spyder. Others have given you good info on tying it down.

I have a 7x10 and use e track on floor to put strap over front tires.Works great.It,s a V nose so room in front for my tool box screwed to floor and hang my gear.

If you want to tow 2 Spyders, you've got some figuring to do... :shocked:
If you want them "nose to tail" figure on about a 7x20 trailer.
If you want to drive one on, and then back the other one in, you'll want some extra width for the offset, but the length of the rig can be shortened up by a bit...
8x16 maybe? :dontknow:
It really helps to take the bikes along for a test-fit.
Good luck, and Happy Hunting! :thumbup:

RTS & STS will fit in a 8.5'x14' box. Both backed in starting with the RTS. The STS backed in, the back tire to about the foot boards of the RTS. I believe a 8'x14' would also work

Oops, missed the part about 2.

I I thought I would be hauling it more but it is just too fun to ride..

This is THE reason I can't justify spending what an enclosed trailer costs.

8ish X 14 sounds like about the smallest. Yikes. Thanks for all the advice everyone!

I use a 7x20 Vee Nose. When I got it we had two RTs that fit very well. My good friend Wiredux just bought a 7X20 Vee Nose as well. I have D rings in the floor that I use to tie down the Spyders. They need to be secured. Some folks have the track system. I would not recommend anything smaller then a 20 foot.

We use a 7x16 w/a 3' v-nose. Back the F3 in first and drive the ST in. Chocks are home made and hold the rear wheel only. Two blocks, one on the outside of each front wheel keep the front end from moving side to side. See image:

This photo was taken while in the fit up stage with the ST in first but the general space is the same.
