I'm running the '05 Dodge one ton crew Cummins.

It'll do the job without issue.  The 6 baggers are just too much for 24'.  I got 6 SC2000 Condors and we are setting the bikes in the trailer this week.

I own two baggers and a DWG so we have the layout.  I am hauling two DWG's three ultras and a FatBoy to Sedona.

Thus the layout.

Not sure of what will work but I think it will end ip in some variation of a stagger like this"

We just need to get them in it and see.  I think with the eight feet and some stagger we can do it.  Tight but doable.

The 24 is plenty of trailer for the dealership use with cars and the 28 would be a load I don't need.  I back down a driveway at home that has a good turn in it that I make with the 24 and doubt I could make with the 28.

I'm on a cul-d-sac the a conventional with a 55' trailer could do a u-turn in, so that is no problem.
But, I'm on a little bit of an incline and at the street level the grade reverses. So even my bike trailer scrapes (hitch) pulling out.

With my camper (29' TT) the back end will hit if I have the weight distributing bars hooked up.

One of the reasons I like the Bike Pro chocks is that you can get extra plates and mount them wherever you need. An when the chocks are out the plates are not in the way.

How about the Condors, same flexibility?

I have the e-track optional mounts so flexibility should be good, we'll know this week.

Duane:

Thanks for the front panel debrief -- and your forward looking thoughts. 

Very interesting.

Mocking up the 6 bike layout this afternoon for awhile.

[RJ749]

Looking like we can do six bikes one way or another.

Six SC 2000's and away we go

[RJ749]

OK, so we went for e-track for tie downs as well as some d ring ones strategically placed.

Also, doing all new bearings for the Sedona trip.  I figure the trailer has 100k on it and may as well go with new bearings.

[RJ749]

So we did the 6 Condors and the track

(oh crap, post 9,000)

[RJ749]

It's going to work out great and not interfere with the normal car hauling use when the condors are removed.

[RJ749]

So we got the first run in to my house and all is well, now we just need to get to next week and away we go to Sedona

Thanks again to everyone and thanks to Duane for the pics and suggestions..............

Duane, what made you decide to eliminate the floor mounter tie downs in favor of the track. My trailer has been delayed by high demand and will be started this week and I have time to make any mods to design over the next couple of days while their welding frame components.

Flexability and "just because"

The trailer was set up for staggered when delivered. I use it single most of the time, so the bike goes in the center.

I also use the trailer for other things, have hauled a quad occasionally too.

I really wish I had recessed the spare tire. Don't like it outside and don't like it where "I spec'ed" it.
