Ron sez...hmmm where do I begin !!
His first question..is the trailer setup for hauling a motorcycle?
Here is what you need.
a front wheel chock (Ron has 3, center one is for the dresser)
6 D rings mounted in floor (3 for each side of motorcycle) (Harbor Freight has D rings w/700 lb rating each $3 for 2)
Good quality ratchet tie downs
He, also, bought a trailer dolly..he built a bracket in the nose of our trailer to hang it on...the dolly was worth its weight on the recent trip. We had to disconnect from the Axis and maneuver the trailer into its spot.
The chock he got for the dresser and the dolly came from Harbor Freight. This chock, less than $50 has served us well on a number of trips. (previous trailer 6x12)
For the other motorcycle, (his dual sport), the chock 'screws' against the tire and he has had them for so long he doesn't remember where he got them.
He has, also, used this chock for the dresser.
He, also, put up a couple hangers for jackets, etc.
Our trailer is V nose so,up front under where he mounted the dolly, he stows misc. stuff and he sets his tool box there.
If you have any questions, at all, Ron will be happy to help.
Ron and Kay
