Ok Guys and Gals,
Trying to figure out all I need to do.
I have thought about the tandem tow dolly, a hydralift, then a pickup with second bike in the bed, and on and on and on!!!
Here's my question, with the moho at 44ft, is pulling a 20-22 ft trailer as restrictive as it seems. the last 4 years pulling a 14 ft trailer has seemed to sometimes be a hassle, some parks just are not set up with the hookups and stuff.
Do you end up having to rent a second slot very often, I already know it will keep me out of alot of state parks and some national parks as well, but I think it is probably going to be the way we go as long as the wife wants to keep riding her own bike. I had thought a couple years ago she was ready to give it up, but now it looks as though she will ride for another couple years, but still, 7-8k for a set up that only has the one purpose seems outrageous to me, meaning the other options. At least with a trailer I would have the traveling garage and stuff.
I am a retired truck driver, the length is not a problem for me, but it just seems there are a lot of places we have been where they could not have accommodated us if we were a few feet longer.
Let me know if I am right or just over-reacting.
Thanks
You have almost answered your own question there. The coach alone will restrict or at least reduce the amount of state and national parks in which you can camp in not even including the trailer, so that issue is almost null and void based on the coach alone.
I have never had to pay for a second slot/site to park the trailer in. Most I have been able to remain hooked up providing I call ahead and reserve a spot early enough. There have only been a handful of times when I have had to drop the trailer and not be able to remain hooked up in my site.
All that said, I will admit that my wife and I have passed on some nice RV Parks/campgrounds due to not having provisions for our total length. Also, flat towing is "easier" by far but like you, I want to take more toys than just a toad. This is where planning ahead and trade-offs definitely come into play.
I am curious to see how others respond on their experiences as well and see if they are similar or different than what we have experienced when traveling.
Mike.
