Looks pretty much the same to me. 

Nope - cleaner look, no rust, well made compact hold clips available.

Whichever brand/style offers ready adjustments,  which were not available in the trailer I had.

Same with mine ((built to order too)

I just had the tie down rings that were pre-installed.

So did I

OK,  the e-rails were on one that I rented.  As I recall they were painted and could rust,  but other-wise appear to be pretty similar to what you have.

It looks as though you have a small "door" on the left side of the trailer..........are ya vending hotdogs and burgers when you hit the ralleys or wtf.......is it there

Check out AdventureSportsProducts.com....in Golden, Colorado.  Hydraulic, single or doubles.. I have single....on their website it's shown silver/black.

Soda and beer only!

Actually, it is access to fuel any equipment I may have in the trailer. The station I go to for most of my gas has a hose is long enough to reach just about anywhere inside.

If you want to keep your dressers side by side, you might want to look for an 8.5' wide trailer.  When I put our two side by side, we were over the 8' width with only an inch or two between them.  That wasn't enough clearance for my liking, so I went with the 8.5' width.  The outside width is the same as a typical 8' wide, only the wheelwells are inset.  But this gives you extra room for the fairings.  I ended up with a Cargo Craft 20'.  It works and pulls well.  Their site is www.cargocraftinc.com.  I didn't want to deal with the damn rear door cables, so I opted for swing doors and currently use ramps.  One of the horse trailer vendors in town will build an exterior laydown ramp on the back of my trailer for about $1000, which I may end up doing to eliminate the ramps.  But they don't currently bother me.  I'm using WheelDocks (www.wheeldock.com) which eliminate a 2 person tie down.  I ride in and they lock in place.  One of the local shops doesn't even tie a bike down beyond the WheelDocks, and hasn't had problems.  I tie mine down.  Ain't taking chances, but they do lock solidly.  They can be set up for easy removal to keep a flat floor.  Two screws and out they come.

After tripping over and knocking the cable off the drum several times I just remove the right cable and haven't had a problem since.

One of the local shops doesn't even tie a bike down beyond the WheelDocks, and hasn't had problems.

No way would I ever do that. The lateral loads on just the wheel & forks on turns has to be quite substantial without the bike tied down.

I agree, mine always get tied down front and rear.

PJ57, I have the same Haulmark trailer and it's worked great.  Gas mileage sucks when towing it, but only use it for the long hauls.  Take a look at Condor wheel chocks.  I replaced my stock wheel chocks with the Condor and they make loading a breeze and a one man job.  Holds the bike in place and makes tie downs a breeze.
