Trailering my Spyder RT?

TIGHT FIT

Oh! I was referring to the tight fit you must experience; when climbing in there to get on the RT... :bowdown:

If you hadn't been in Law Enforcement: you'd have made a great burglar! :joke:

Well do to age I'm shrinking :roflblack: ... 5"11" now .... I don't really think about hitting my head when I get on / off in the Box ......................annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd actually being an LEO taught me how to be a GREAT burglar :yes:, I've gotten into more cars and homes ( to help people ) than you might think possible :roflblack: :roflblack: :roflblack: ..... Mike :thumbup:

Enclosed Trailering 2016 RT and a 2013 Victory Crosscountry Tour

Any suggestions other than a 7x14 and stagger them, because that doesn't work. I tried with an enclosed 7x14 "Lowhauler". Looking at Cyclone 4018 which is 17.5. Does anyone have one of those that is 17.5 or 18ft. How do you like it? What do you like? I like the separate garage area other than the open room design smelling tires and gas in the living area.

Tow my F3T with a Buick

I am thinking of getting a trailer to tow my Spyder. Looking at a 6'x8' with ramp on the back. Here may be my problem. I have a 2016 Buick Casada convertible with a 4 cyl turbocharger. Wil the Buick have enough power to pull the trailer with thr Spyder on it?

Have used both....

As avid snowmobiler in WI for many years, have had several two-up snowmobile trailers. The advantage is that almost all s'trailers have accompanying ramps to load a machine...drive on, back off or ramp in front to drive off. Also have the choice of going covered trailer or open...covered is great as they are virtually weather proof and enough under cover space to haul other essentials. I also have an open 7' x 12' aluminum trailer which I used to trailer my RT out to western SD before touring WY this past summer. A double fold drop down ramp and D-rings made loading and securing an easy process. A 2x4 front parking block secured to the floor and web straps thru the front wheels made for a secure tie-down. A web strap thru the rear wheel ( need to be clear of valve stem ) finished the tie-down process. Anyway...any trailer will work if you can get your RT on/off easily and able to secure adequately....

. I was wondering if there was some way to haul it using an enclosed snowmobile trailer.

Had a Triton snowmobile trailer, held two snowmobiles/ATVs. No go on the Spyder, not tall enough for windshield.

This is my trailer which works great, don't have to worry about anybody messing with it when it's parked.

Marty, I have a 30' foot Work and Play by Forrest River without a separate garage area. Probably 15,000 + miles and never a gas smell. If you smell gas you are over filling the Spyder (never fill before towing), gas leak of either the gas cap seal or line. I have towed with motorcycles, Polaris ranger and Can am Spyder and Side by Side Maverick. Never any gas smells.

Takes only about 5 to 10 minutes to remove the windshield.

I just ran into the same problem and got a bigger trailer, why are my pics laying down?

What are you using to pull that 30 ft. It's a fifth wheel? Will a F250 pull it?

Does anyone have a toyhauler they own that fits two RTS? is it a 17, 17.5 or 18 ft

I have a 2 place, 7' X 14' enclosed tandem axle motorcycle trailer that I can drive my RT right into.
Haven't figured out how to get the RT 622 in there with it yet.

To help answer your question about hauling 2 RT's in a toy hauler let me suggest you start by laing out the garage portion on the driveway with chalk, 2x4's or whatever. Widest would be about 96" for a 102" wide trailer. Setting nose to tail you would need about 20 ft allowing for some walk around room. Now, start cramming them in a shorter space to see what you are comfortable with. Remember you have to tie them down and walls don't move. I tried backing up the ramp on mine and it did not work, tire spin.

There are more manufactures making Toy Haulers every year, so you have a lot to choose from. Not every dealer will carry every Forest River product line. Have fun shopping.

In an earlier post you ask about a tow vehicle, This is not an easy answer. I will add a link to Ford's towing Guide, every manufacturer publishes one. As general information, fifth wheel toy hauler will require a properly equipped F-350 or F-450 for the larger ones

Keep asking questions, also you can use Forest River Forums for information.
