I would check your local Craig's List.I have seen similar trailers for between $1500-2000and with low or near nothing miles on them.
I also would not have one all painted up advertising to would be bad guys what you have inside.Besides all that extra logo paint is about $1000-$1500 more cost.
Might as well say STEAL ME !!
lol , I know you can get them with out all the garb added on .
Don't know about the company, but we did buy a trailer from someplace in GA, that was very well made. There are several companies down there that make trailer, and they are made locally. Love the Harley trailer!
Lowe's sells enclosed trailers. I sold 2 last year. If you are a VET u get 10% off too!
The trouble with a 10 ft trailer is it doesn't give you much wiggle room.You might have to move the trike back and forth to get your tongue weight right and with a 10 footer you don't have much room for doin that.
Marv1, I have this one and it is a 7x14. You get a lot more room for a little more $$$. I had a 7x12 before this and it worked ok for bikes, but not the trike and all the stuff I usually carried. I bought this from a dealer near Cuba, MO.<br />

Not only does the extra length come in handy, but as you can see by his pictures this trailer is a tandem axle. Not only can you carry a heavier load but you also have the additional safety factor in case one tire blows out or goes flat. You can keep going for awhile and have more stability, imho.
Marv1, This Trailer you are looking at will be perfect for your Triglide. We had a 6X10 V-nose we bought from TrailersForLess.com in Newnan, Ga. They also have a Dealer in Fayetteville, GA. It held my wife's 2010 SG Trike with room to spare. The V-nose let's you go far enough forward as to not have any problem's with tongue weight. We pulled this Trailer to Florida a couple of times and Myrtle Beach, SC a few times. Never had a tire problem!
The 7X10 you are looking at will give you room for extra's.
Good luck!

2010 RK almost stock, 2012 Triglide, Stage 1 and some Mods.
I have a 6X12, two years old. Fits Harley trike fine.
Motorcycle mural all around the inside. Carpet on floor. Finished ceiling. Wheel chock, tie downs in floor and walls. Storage cabinet in front, up top.
Has ramped rear door, side door, spare tire. If you are interested, I'll get some pics up.
$3500 is the asking, it's finished ready to roll, solid silver-gray outside.
I enjoy my enclosed trailer. Trike fits well inside and it tows easy too.

ENJOY - Life is too SHORT!!!
Pictures show single axle, but discription is of a dual axle....
I like tandem axles, my dad picked this Haulmark up and it pulls like a dream. A couple weeks ago we made a 900 mile round trip to take my 06 Ultra to the tuners, had some pretty decent wind gust which were a non issue.

Red Ultra Powered By Head-Quarters 120, Easy Clutch Pull By ClutchWIZ. 2012 GL1800 Hannigan. I've yet to ride a stock Harley which wasn't in need of a mechanical intervention.
Here's the trailer I've had my eye on for some time now. It's also down in Georgia, has all the bells and whistles and the price clearly reflects that. A bit too expensive! (click on ebay link below)

Tandem axles are nice if you need the extra room for maybe two bikes and extra's. Adds a lot more weight and cost in fuel. We only had one touring bike when I bought the 6X10 single axle shown below. It didn't drop my fuel mileage towing it very much. When we got the wife's Trike and wanted to take both bikes, I moved up to a 7X16 for a short while, then on to the Toyhauler we have now. If you keep your weight forward, the single is very stable while towing.

I'm holdin' out for a tandem alxe 7X12 "V" nose. I borrowed a 6X10, not too much room to move around while tying down.
Most of these trailers are good to haul in being single or tandem. But take a look underneath and you will notice semi bare wood (floor is usually 3/4" thick) and very light weight cross metal supports. Eventually the floor will sag with trike weight. I use a similar trailer but have learned to beef up floor (welding additional 2" angle iron at point of trike rear wheels etc. across trailer, along side of existing light weight metal beams) and then spray all underneath with either bed liner spray or flex seal. Trailer will last for years of wear and use.
