Congratulations! Instead if a bunch of wisely remarks, you'be gotten some good advice that I agree with. I bought a very nice single bike tilting poem trailer that works perfectly and rows like a dream. BUT, if doing it again I'd spend some more and gory an enclosed trailer OR spend less and get a nice open utility trailer with sides on it. Both would be more useful year round for you and family and friends AND would keep bikes safer on trips. Torsion suspension is a must for great ride. Good luck. Let us know what you do.

This is nothing - if you want to hear a real debate, head over to the vacuum cleaner forums: bag-less versus bagged. Now those are some bad dudes and dudettes!!

But in all seriousness, I have a great girlfriend, two small dogs, have to have a change of clothes and live in south Florida. So if want to ride in some really nice terrain, that means we have to hussle 10-14 hrs to get into the mountains or leave one of three aforementioned items behind - not an option, I do want to come home eventually I have a great tricked out Class B motorhome which is perfect for traveling & camping and will pull a 1000lbs like it was nothing, so Im also thinking about a single up trailer. Advice and flames welcome Cheers, Kevin.

I have a small car so a light trailer is required. I use a single wide Kendon and have nothing but good things to say about it. I really like being able to fold and stand the trailer up in my indoor parking spot, very handy indeed.
They do make a double as well and I have seen it loaded with two dressers, no problem. They are torsion bar axles so you can load a single bike on the double trailer no problems with level.
Just my experience.

Just don't put a picture of yourself on the back of it ridding your bike.

I would get a Baxley Trailerhttp://www.baxleycompanies.com/

Thanks for the info folks, Yea, I have to trailer my bike some times and I want to get to a nice area and ride it without being worn out or in terrible back pain. I have degenerative spine deasease and I want to tow with my car. Covered trailers would be nice but not to feasable for towing with my car.

I got a proline 7X14 enclosed V-nose. I use a J&S wheel chock in there. I've only trailered when I moved because I can't trust movers with my bike.

Just saw your last post. My trailer's dry weight is 2k lbs just FYI!! Kendon does make some nice trailers for two bikes that fold up when done, but are open trailers.
