I have a "modified" Thule bike hauler.
It is 6.5' wide by 12', with a V nose.
6.5
is the minimum for 2 dressers.
The trailer came with the recessed chocks, I don't like those chocks, there is little room to "lean" the bike over after you get it in the trailer. And with the recessed chocks and lowered SEEG's, it is difficult to get the rigs set up. In fact you can't lean a lowered dresser over on the left side without being very careful of the faring. And it barely stands up on the stand, not enough lean. The recess is about a 1.5".
You can put 2 dressers in the trailer for travel, but you can't put 2 in on kickstands, which is something we did in Maggie Valley with our housemate Dick Tate. Had to take off one of my saddlebags and the tourpak, which gave me plenty of room. We were using my trailer as a garage.
I am currently using the Bike Pro chock. Works great, drive in step off, done. And rather then use the available "tie down" plates I drilled holes in the chock itself, eliminates the trip hazard when the chock is removed. The advantage to this is that you are strapping the wheel down and allowing the suspension to do it's thing. 2 bike pros would allow two bike to easily be stored overnight (without taking the bags off).
But if you want to use it like a garage with 2 bikes and you don't want to move the back bike out to get to the front bike then you need an 8' trailer
http://www.wikco.com/bpro1.htmlI didn't do it yet, but when I am done I will have two Bike Pro chocks and 3 mounting plates in the trailer.
My mods to the trailer were minimal but one was substantial.
Look here for some pics info on mine and others here on the site.
http://flhrsei.org/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?num=1153247249/25#25I ordered a Thule 3000 series low profile v-nose bike trailer. The advantage to this is that it has a drop axle and is very low overall height. This also makes for a low entry step and a "not as steep" ramp. The disadvantage is that there is only 5'6" of head room inside. So, I ordered it with a 6" extension in height, along with a door height increase, giving a full 6' of interior height.
There is another thread with all my trailer stuff here somewhere.
The Thule is an all aluminium, smooth skin (no rivets) one piece aluminium roof trailer.
Something to consider. The 12' comes with a single axle. Brakes are a $400 option. The 2 axle option, which comes with brakes and more then doubles the rated capacity is a $700 option, which is what I have. That is pretty much standard with most trailers.
With the gas door on the side I can reach the tank of a bike in the center.
The trailer tows like a dream and is very smooth riding. Of course I am towing with a 06 GMC diesel (not some wimpy Furd diesel truck here).
My trailer is probably the smallest you would want for 2 dressers. I will probably never haul 2, but I wanted that option and I did not want an oversize trailer hanging around my yard.
There are a lot of naysayers when it comes to trailering your bike, but, had it not been for the trailer, my wife would not have made it Maggie Valley. And with the 2 days of heavy rain we had I still had fun, I put almost 500 miles on the truck driving all around in the rain, some off roading too.
