Wheel Chocks On Trailer

Wheel Chocks On Trailer
I am looking at buying a cargo trailer to haul my TG to Phoenix, Arizona and back from Kansas City, MO. Yes, I am a future snowbird. I am thinking a 6' x 12' would be just about right. Although I know tie-downs will work (either already on the trailer or installed by me), I see some trailers that come with 1 or 2 wheel chocks. Since the front end of TG is essentially the same as an Ultra, I am thinking that I could use the wheel chock to help secure the TG along with the tie-downs. Any reason to think that the wheel chock is not a good idea for the TG. Thank you.

Check out the biker bar for trailering. I could never go back to a chock and straps. Search some vids on YouTube. Here's a link to the product. http://ktperformance.net/i-9456846-b...FdgHgQodw_gMAA

In looking for an enclosed cargo trailer for my `15 Triglide I found you should measure the rear door to take into consideration the cables width also. For me I would only feel comfortable with a 7` wide trailer for a trike. Last winter I had some work done at dealer who picked up the trike with a 6` wide trailer. A little close for me with the cables and rear fenders. As far as length goes 12` looked good. If you are going to be a snow bird and need more storage might consider 14`. Also I noticed the tongue length seemed kinda short. Depending on what you are towing with you might want to consider ordering a trailer with an extended tongue. Looks like I would need that with our 8` wide class A motorhome.

I have a 6x12 v nose enclosed. Has about four inches on each side going in. I used guide blocks on each side of the rear wheel once it's in. Keeps it from shifting too over bumpy roads. Diagonally tie down the rear and for the front I use a #5 wheel dock. The wheel dock is a bit over kill but I always use them when we were on two wheels.
