Enclosed Trailer, how many can I fit safely?
I have a Hallmark 7 x 14 enclosed trailer with V nose giving me three extra feet of space. The trailer is dual axle with electric brakes and rides straight and smooth. I need to get 4 bikes in it for a trip to Florida next month. All the bikes are softails ( Deluxe, Fat Boy, Slim) it's too fricken cold in PA to go out and try a dry fit right now but on paper it looks like they should fit, snugly.
Anyone have experience I can leverage or further advice?

I get 3 in mine and it's crowded . I don't think 4 is going work,but I could be proven wrong.Beach bars makes it worse.

Here's with two bikes. Three with normal chocks would make it 4 work with that thing JC posted.
7x14 V nose I could have made them fit better, but this was a one time event. I trailered my bike down to SoCal with the family so I can ride with my dad for the first time on our own bikes. Then my buddy flew down from WA and bought the Beemer and asked me to trailer it back up since it was December. But three could fit easily four might have to take some precision.
Now My new 8.5x20 has some good space...lol!!

The only benefit to having the V-nose is for gear. Even if you had a railing system for straps you still can't really use the V-nose for the bikes. Might be able to with that system JC posted, but you'll never know till you try unfortunately.
I could have gone up a few more inches, but I think that lined up my mounting bolts right up to the trailer I-beams so I mounted a a few inches back.

This biker bar system is pretty darn cool... I still think if you had bikes close to each other you should strap the bars so the front wheel does not move, but a product to truly consider.

I think all you will get in is 3 bikes. But good luck. If you get them in I would check often to make sure none of them have moved

Myself and two friends just bought a 7x16 v-nose and will be buying the biker bars and that is the only way we going to get three touring bikes in there.
