trailer to tow trike

[KRUZR]

Any suggestions for a trailer to tow behind my 24ft Winnebago Navion. Have considered an Idaho tote and a Swivel wheel trailer. Any input would be appreciated.

I'm using a Aluma TK1, check it out?

That seems high for 9 yr old unit if you can buy new for a grand or so more. Also watch what the mfg date would be on the tires.

New I can buy a ez rider with single axle, motorcycle ready for $3500 not planning on using it much at all but nice to have in the event I do.

also going with single axle, it would be easier to pull with a standard v8 truck, I would think it would take more of a truck to pull dual axles.

dual axle trailers also are equiped with brakes not sure I need all that.

I work at a car dealer so getting demo's to pull it isn't a problem, but finding one set up with a brake controller and strong enough to pull dual axle set up is.

any opinions anyone?

The Aluma TK-1 trailer is about the best open Trike trailer made. It weighs around 400 pounds, has a single torsion axle, self storing full ramp, and won't rust. It doesn't have brakes and IMHO you really don't need them on such a light trailer.

I pull mine behind a 38' motorhome. There have been a couple times I needed to unhook and put the trailer someplace. I can move it around easily no matter if the TG is on it or not.

I'm actually getting rid of mine in the next month or so, but not because it isn't about the best way to tow my TG. We are looking for a larger DP motorhome and want to take both the TG and car with us when traveling and need to start towing a long enclosed.

My 2010 Ranger has no problem towing my dual axle EZ Rider. Total weight of the trailer with the trike is about 3500 lbs. Having trailer brakes makes towing easier. Check your state's towing laws for brake requirements. Depends on how you interpret the law but:

"North Carolina Trailer Brake Laws

Every semitrailer, trailer, or separate vehicle attached by a drawbar or coupling to a towing vehicle of at least 4,000 lbs., and every house trailer weighing at least 1,000 lbs., shall be equipped with brakes controlled or operated by the driver of the towing vehicle. "

We bought our TK-1 trailer used - but nearly new. The previous owner had electric brakes put on it but we've never hooked up the brake accessory. Ford Escape and Chevy Equinox pull it fine without problems with a Gold Wing trike loaded.

We only bought it to have in case of a breakdown and had to haul the trike for repair....but then we don't do cross-country trips - in which case an enclosed trailer would be really nice. The trailer comes with a toolbox and shield up front. This one came with a spare tire also...not sure if that is standard equipment or an add-on as were the brakes. And true, it is so light you can push/pull it around easily by hand.

[QUOTE=Texan;507610]Have always said "trailers are for horses". Have been riding for over 65 years but after developing Parkinson's 3 years ago and experiencing the fatigue of riding I've been considering it. I can realistically ride 350-400 miles before I have to get off and lay down. I've considered an enclosed and the open TK-1. Then economics set in for a trailer costing $3000-$4000 buys a lot of $50.00 motel rooms. It's the 3 days to Sturgis vs 2, and the time lost that have me thinking about getting one again.

You should think about coming to Daytona with Rich and me.
