Nice Trailer I'll be doing one soon but a bit Bigger
some where on the Forum a guy had one that he Tiled in Black and white paneled it cut in a few windows and hung Plastic Garage Cabinets (removable) , had a bed in it the bikes loaded from the Right front and he used it as a camper or took out the cabinets and Bed and used it for Snow mobiles and what ever
I looked for the post but can't find it IF anyone does could you send me a link

My wife bought me a brand new 6x10 V-Nose roadforce trailer back in may
to keep my bike in when i wasnt riding it,I've yet to install any tie downs or front wheel chock in it,and i never put plates on it. I dont have a garage or shed to park my bike in,so the trailer is nice to just drive into after rides and close the ramp door,keeps it out of harms way and out of the weather.They sure do make a good garage/shed
I was thinking of keeping my bike in it for the winter storage as well,but was told not too due to condensation problems. anyone know if this is true??

good luck with your new trailer.

You guys with trailers, MAKE SURE YOU MAKE IT SO IT CAN'T BE STOLEN!!!! think how easy that would/could be. Just a thought,what a "trophy" for some low life, heist a trailer and find a Harley in it.

Keith, congrats on your new purchase. Looks great, now all you need is a dually to pull it. Just an idea...LOL.

My Ranger has theh 4.0 engine, power to spare for this small trailer. lots of times my tow is only 3 1/2 miles to my inlwas to get off my 1.8 mile muddy hole of a dirt road to ride.

Nice trailer...I have a 6x14 which is nice to haul the bike. Here in the north, we usually have snow on the ground so leaving from here to Daytona would sometimes be impossible that time of the year. I have seen some that convert the inside to somewhat of a sleeping quarters. Kinda of a cool idea to me.

Oh, by the way..two good wheel chocks to look at, the Condor and Wheel Dock...a little more cash, but in the long run can save you if you bike isn't held properly

One of my riding buddies did the same thing. He bought a large one to haul with his Grand Cherokee Jeep. It is quite large and holds two bikes plus lots of room for other stuff. He installed racks in the front to hang all their leather riding gear. Uses it to ride to sturgis each year and to AZ in the winter. Plus backup if he has a breakdown.

I think your talking about mine, if so here you go...
If you have any questions just ask, the trailer is a Wells Cargo In Line, 6.5' wide by 26' long, I load the bikes from the back, sleds from the front.
The first pic is looking from the front to the back, second is from back to front set up for summer and hauling bikes.
