    Default Trailer Size Recommendations

    Look to buy an enclosed trailer this year. What size trailer do you'll recommend for holding 2 bikes comfortable with the possibility of a 3rd? 90% of the time I will probably pulling 1 or 2 bikes.

    Right now I'm looking at a 7x12 tandem axle w/ ramp door. Also, will need a little room to work on bike(s) if I run RST or Crazy 8's in Mirock series.

    Also, any ideas on must have options built into or put in the trailer that would otherwise probably be too costly to retrofit? Thanks.

    this is a 6x14 just to give you an idea, I would definitely get some lights inside, my generator is mounted on the tongue to save some room. I really wish I had gone with a 7x14 or 7x16, but this gets it done just fine and isn't that heavy.

    If you are getting a.c, go with the 15,000 btu not the 13,500 btu. Trust me on this one. I went the small route, and regret it.

    Also would recommend getting the heat strip with it, its about 85 bucks, alot better than carrying around little electric heaters and tripping over them. Another mistake I had made, but corrected
