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
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.

When I want to use it for the sleds it takes about an hour or so to remove the cabinets, put plywood on the floor to protect the tiles from the traction products on the sleds (carbide track pics and ski carbides). I have a sink with a 7 gallon water supply, electrical hookup. I also intstalled a 19' roll up RV awning, little expensive but well worth to park the bikes under plus sit when it rains.

Enclosed trailers come in handy for other stuff too, I just picked 91 sq.yds. of carpet and pad for the house on Saturday at home depot with it.

That is a great looking trailer, 800XC SP.

I had a 6 X 12 for a while. One of my friends used it more that I did, so I sold it to him. Now I can borrow it.

Thanks, it's my own design. The key to having people not ask to borrow it is get it big enough that it takes at least a full size truck to pull it, something about asking to borrow the trailer AND the truck is asking a little much so it doesn't happen...

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.
I wouldn't store my bike in the winter in my trailer, here in Wisconsin you will get frost, condensation, etc. 2 years ago I got back from Bike Week in Daytona late at night, went out the next day to unload the bikes and they were covered in frost and I mean covered.
Depends on the climate where you live...

I hear you, but he has an F250 diesel 4X4, so he could probably pull my house if he wanted.
