JonS Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Anyone ever rent a trailer (enclosed) locally or able to offer suggestions? Just picked up a tahoe recently and looking to take a vacation and haul two bikes with me. Riding bikes there is the 1st though but I'd like to be able to take more/different gear than I can cram into bike luggage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nochknstrps Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 I'm sure you could find someone on here that has one and wouldn't mind loaning it to you. enclosed trailers from uhaul are kinda small, thats really the only place I know that rents them.

KhaoticRebel Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 There's a place in West Chester (Smiths Trailers?) that rents enclosed trailers completely set up for hauling motorcycles, but I know that doesn't help you since you're in Columbus. They are reasonably priced though I think. Depending how long you plan to be gone and where you're staying, you could pony up the cash for a cheap trailer at Tractor Supply. They're like $500+ depending how big a trailer you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhaoticRebel Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 TSC trailer big enough for 2 bikes is gonna run you around a grand. Not enclosed.I totally disagree with your comment given the fact that I have fit two bikes on my TSC trailer, which was roughly $500. I will be putting two bikes on my $500 trailer again in 1.5 weeks. His bike is bigger, so perhaps that may be the case for him, but it depends on what the other bike is, too. Another option would be Craigslist. Personally, I think buying a trailer is the best purchase ever. It has come in handy SO many times already and I've only had it for like 6 months.

KhaoticRebel Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 BASTID!!!!! Sorry I'm not cool enough to be down with the l33t lingo ha ha.Mine was around 900. You got ripped off?

AOW Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Open trailer is your best bet, you'll get better gas mileage w/open trailer. If you go the renting route, it may be cheaper to rent one way for both legs of trip. Rent it here and drop off in never never land when you arrive, reserve now for return trip. I've used Uhaul's open trailers so many times now that the wife wants to buy a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottie_mp Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 In gahanna, there is an enclosed trailer for sale. 270 to hamilton rd. go west/north (away from airport) and you will see it on your left. Its big enough for 2 bikes if you are interested in buying a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
