I've seen multiple threads on trailering but nothing for this specific use case.

We're selling out house in VA and moving to FL. There may be a period of time between selling and buying where we are "mobile" or without adequate storage.

For the move I will need to transport a Smart ForTwo and a 2015 FLHTK. My towing vehicle is a Chevy Silverado.

Would a trailer that could haul both the small car and motorcycle be feasible?

I've read a lot about chocks, straps, etc for securing the motorcycle but I haven't begun researching transporting a car yet. I assume there will be similar needs.

My initial thoughts is an enclosed trailer for the car and motorcycle, which would handle transport. But if we're between locations for a while it would also be the garage. Maybe even convince the wife to make several pit stops along the journey to spend days in the mountains or the beach.

 

I don't see why you can't put one of those tiny cars and a bike in an enclosed trailer, in Europe they park those cars sideways to the curb, like a bike... just watch the towing capacity of your truck...

 

When I moved to Texas from Virginia, my trailer was my garage for 6 or 7 months while my house was being built.

If you buy the right trailer, there is no reason you can't put a smart and a Harley in it....

Or just put the smart in the back seat of your truck.

 

Feasible? Probably not. It all depends what you're going to do with the trailer once you move. For the price of a trailer that's capable of hauling and enclosing both of those it would be more feasible to ship them. If you just want a trailer and are trying to sell your wife on the idea then I guess that would be feasible too.

 

Haul that "Smart" in the bed of the Silverado. Post a pick.

 

16' x 7' tandem axle trailer should work. Just check tongue weight compared to your trucks capacity. I know a Smart is not that heavy so should probably be up front towing to make handling better. I assume you are using a 3/4 ton or larger.

 

I keep a Smart in my toolbox in case I run out of gas.
