2talltim Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 Keep in mind of your fuel consumption with a enclosed, those things are like towing a big sail behind you. I had one less than a year before I sold it for a open trailer. Towing 4 bikes to and from the gap last spring I was only getting around 8 to 9 mpg on the hiway vs 19 to 20 m y truck usually gets, I can get about 14 ish with my open trailer.Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did you get out of if? I just bought another open trailer, sold the 5x14 and picked up a 76"x16'. It is a beast compared to the smaller one. 1300 lbs empty, other was 800 lbs.

blue03636 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Good luck finding one, I love my 6x14 and still get 12-15 mpg. Plus I can keep my crap in it all locked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idodishez Posted April 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Open or closed? What's super cheap?This space intentionally left blank to avoid offending anyone 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubbersidedown Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 The trailer I looked at was enclosed although the also sell open trailers. The roof was only about 5' high which is a plus when towing but a minus when entering. As I recall it was around $1400 but cannot find them on the website to confirm. Another plus was an "A frame" tongue, other minus it seemed to have thin plywood interior walls although I do not know what standard walls are.

myhondas Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 (edited) I got one off ebay from Downtoearth trailers in GA. Actually made by Diamond Trailers down the road a spell from them....Had it customized and love it.....although as was stated, it does knock your mpg down. I got mine because of my 74 CB750K4, but use it for all my bikes. At VMD, it doubles as a camper. I have added extra chocks and tiedown rings on the floor.....I intend to add some storage cuboards in the top of the v area.http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss89/myhondas/TRAILER/scan0141.jpgThis is what a stock unfinished one looks like.....

idodishez Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Why are they all in FL and GA? That looks similar to what I've been looking at on ebay, linked above. But GA isn't close.

myhondas Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Can't answer that question....but for what it's worth, it took me a day to drive down and one to bring it back. I have a total of less than 5k in it and you can't touch anything equal to it around here for less than 7K. I checked all over Ohio and nothing came close.
