Long Haul
Hey everyone,
looking for a vehicle trailer in NC to tow my wife's saturn L series and motorcyle at the same time.Our journey will take us from NC,to MD to MIAMI,FL to GA to TACOMA,WA. I know it's going to be a journey, but the job requires me to make that move.Any suggestions on size trailer.
I have a 2000ex Limited with 99,200mi.
thanks for any advice in advance

I have a 16' trailer that holds the corvette and chevelle nicely. But, you want to put a motorcycle on it as well, so i would recomend at least a 20' one. May be a little tight but you might be able to squeez the bike on sideways to make it work.

I agree, I have a 16' trailer and I would go with at least a 20' trailer. I bought my 16' utility trailer new back in 2000. I really did not think I would use it much. It was the best $1700.00 I ever spent, now I do not know how I did without it.

Yeah, I'd guess anywhere between 8.5X16 through 8.5x20 Depending on how long the car/motorcycle are. Depending on how long the bike is, you might be able to load it sideways or at an angle, and that might save you some space.
Just remember that you will need some space in front and back of both items to allow room to strap them down, so consider that when ordering.
FWIW, I tow motorcycles all the time, and love the pingel removable wheel chocks. The are handy when you need them and quick to remove when you don't. Sound perfect for your needs in this case!
good luck and drive safe! (I recently drove 2200 mi from Tacoma, WA to Dallas, TX in 2.5 days >_<, but I can tell you its some pretty country up there!)
