Them enclosed trailers are nice but I don’t really need one. Plus I hope I don’t have to tow my trike again no time soon. Specially to Canada..lol. Next trip is up to the U.P. And I’m riding it there.
I have an Aluma TK-1 for sale. Made especially for trikes and I added a Wheeldock drive on chock. If interested you can email me at harleyjerry901@gmail.com

Same here, We plan on going back up to Glacier NP next year for the Going to the Sun Road (Provided I'm not 6' under LOL) and a few more rides of over 1 K. We've downsized our vehicles, sold the F-450, just didn't need that much truck. The Ford Maverick will do just fine with a lightweight open trailer and I can always put a rock guard on the front if needed.
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions
Got a Stinger fold up trike trailer last December to tow the bike from IL to AZ. Usually would ride it out in November (risky weather) but got Covid and couldn’t. Also family kept telling me at 73 I was getting too old to ride out by myself so finally broke down and got a trailer. Solid unit and towed easily, including in some heavy rain storms. Fold up feature is nice if you have storage limitations but very few seniors (or maybe anyone) could fold or open it themselves. Too heavy so you need help. In terms of an enclosed trailer, that would be nice if you have the room to store it. My bike did get really dirty. Not because of that, but was undecided if I wanted a trailer at all after getting to AZ since there is still something gratifying about riding from A to B, wherever that is. Then I rode back from AZ through CO and to IL last month, 2,500 miles. Have done that many times over the last 30+ years. Last year it was a 3,500 mile return trip. I am finally admitting to myself that after all these years of 500+ mile days on Midwestern interstates to get to and from “fun” locations (no offense to anyone living between “fun” locations), I am getting tired of the 8-10 hour days of boring, tiring, often windy, sometimes rainy, and always truck heavy interstates. Am thinking now I will be using the trailer again to skip the “unfun” portions of my cross country trips. I might miss some of that over time, but as I age (further) it will probably be worth it.
My younger brother had an open trailer and he use to throw some moving blankets over the bike and then shrink wrap it. Towed it all over the place with no damage or dirt.. Wrap back up for the trip home.
He did end up buying an enclosed trailer because he travel some much for his work and took the bike with him.
Do yourself a favor and get an enclosed trailer. You'll be happy with the added security, weather protection and extra storage space.
Buy once cry once.
7x14 with electric brakes works perfectly for a trike
They definitely are nice but when I went to pickup mine from the dealer in Albuquerque, he told me to bring an open trailer or it would get stolen while I was at the motel. Empty or not they just steal enclosed trailers. I went down and used my open trailer and spent the night at the motel with it empty, then got up early the next morning and went to dealer and picked up the trike and headed straight home. So depending on the circumstances I guess there are pluses and minuses both ways.
