trailering Can-Am Spyser RT

[Recluze]

I have the Spyder Smart Car trailer from ASP. It sounds like they are now calling it the AST 3. It works great and I especially like the remote control raising and lowering. It almost get as much attention as the Spyder.

Mine is for sale if you are interested.

Another trailer option

I bought a Kendon trailer which was made for carrying one or two motorcycles and I modified it to fit my Spyder. This trailer is especially great for anyone who has limited storage space because it stands up in the garage and takes up very little space. The modification consisted of moving the wheel rails out a few inches which required some minor welding; total cost $160. I also had to purchase 2 additional ramps for the Spyder since it only comes with one ramp. The ramps can easily be attached to the trailer alongside the Spyder after it's loaded. I haven't taken any long trips with it yet, but around town, it works great. It rides low so there's very little wind resistance, and it looks great.

Triton trailer

I ended up buying a Triton 1082. Many of the companies you reccomended were not very good at responding to email. Others were too pricey or too long a back log on orders. Bought from C&T Cycle in Scottsburg, IN. Ended up with the 1082 with stone guard, surge brakes, bi-fold ramp. Still don't have the RT. I bought it because it was supposed to be in quickly, but still not there.:dontknow:

Trailering a Spyder - Triton 1064B

When required, I use a Triton 1064B. It is extremely light weight (400 lbs.) and has less wind drag with the Bi-Fold ramp. On many trailers with a ramp you might have to use ramp extensions/blocks to keep the Spyder nose "clean".Purchased from Larry Bierstedt, Aluminum Trailer Connection, Houston,TX [email protected]. Very pleased with the performance. I like pulling payload, not trailer weight.Happy Haulin'

Thanks for all the advice and options. A couple snags have arisen.

A Triton dealer says the the ramp of the MCCTD is to narrow - 36". A sales rep. for AST recommends the AST3 as the AST is only 54" wide. Spyder sales man measured the outside wheel span to be 62.8" Would those :spyder2:riders with the above please adivse?

May I suggest another option: Aluma trailers. alumaklm.com. I just bought model 6810 which is an all aluminum open trailer with a bed of about 6x9.5 feet with a bifold gate. Weight is 440lbs. They're less expensive than Triton.

I put pool noodles on my cables, to prevent accidenttal scratches. They work great for keeping me from tripping over the cables, too!

:2thumbs:Absolutely second that thought. Have been using noodles on my toy hauler since I nearly broke my neck tripping and noticed the Grands' noodles laying around. Keep em in the trailer now!!!!!:clap:

It seems as though everyone has their own favorite, mine is a 6x6x10 airlite that I tow behind a Winnebago 31 Class C.
You need to be real careful re the actual door width. Mine is 63" and my Spyder 59". I laid out some 2x2 pressure treatened pieces along the sides to guide it in and prevent scratches and damage. I also installed a winch just in case.
Good luck, they make a great combo. :yes::yes::yes::yes:

I bought a 7 x 12 enclosed tall boy with electric brakes to haul behind my 26' Alegra class A motorhome. It is amazing how much other stuff that can be fitted in this mobile garage that would otherwise need to be in or on the motorhome. My RT SE5 drives right in with no problem, I use 2" wide adjustable straps thru the wheels to make sure she stays put on our wonderful roads. 3000 miles so far and no problems!!!!!:2thumbs:

Yes, indeed! I love my 7x12 v-nose tallboy. Hauls either Spyder with ease...plus two vintage bikes if it is Nancy's RS aboard, the camp kitchen, canopies, cots, etc. Ours is an R&R, all aluminum, what is yours? :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::spyder:

Trailering my RTS

Enclosed trailer is the way to go. Mine is a 7x12 Pace Journey The :spyder2: RTS fits nice and I still have room is back of the :spyder2:to strap my Zuma 125 too. Works for me anyway.

Trailer for Spyder

I think I am goiing to try putting my Spyder on my tow dollie I use for the cars behind the motorhome. I know the wheel width will fit. Just put it in neutral and free wheel the back tire. New tow dollies are about $1500.00

Just an idea.

 

[pjp623]

I have a 6x6x10 Airlite Trailer that I tow behind my Class C--pictures available under "My Trailer" in my profile. It was fairly inexpensive, plus I can push it around by myself when it's empty. hyea:The extra length to the ramp makes it easy to get in sand out. Some 2x2 PT anlong the sides keeps it from getting scratched at the opening.

Spyder trailer

Hi. New to the group bbecause I just bought a RT A&C. I am a full-time RV'er, so I am looking for a way to transport the Spyder. Whoo has found a trailer specific to the Spyder? Any:2thumbs: other recommendtions?

:joke:I just purchased a spyder RS with the intention of pulling it behind my Tiffin Phaeton. After much research, plan to purchase an Aluma TK1 trike trailer. It will just fit the Can Am. Very well made and light enough to be moveable by one person in any RV park situation.
best price I have found, complete with spare tire ect was $3000.

Your thoughts??

Love the trailer.

Ghost_Rider. Trailer is right up my alley. Couple of questions please. Where can I get one? What is the approximate tongue weight with the spyder loaded? Thanks for your help.

I don't have an RT but I had a trailer built to fit my RS. There are tire pockets in front to help stabilize the :spyder2: when traveling. I also had the rear gate done in two sections to accommodate the steep angle and low clearance of the RS. The trailer has 15" tires so it handles great at highway speeds. The trailer cost $1800.
