we have to set the garage door on some spacers so she will have clearance to drive it out. It is going to be close.

The Spyder could possibly be angled a little and the front tire of the Harley up beside the Spyder a little, but not very much because those things are wide in back too.Sprink-Fitter wrote:

I doubt they would fit side by side. The Spyder is probably close to 5' wide. Fitting the Harley in the remaining ~3' doesn't seem viable to me, especially with the symmetrical layout of the anchor points in the floor (the center tie downs would be underneath the Spyder). So assuming they don't fit side by side, he would need a longer space to fit one behind the other. That definitely wouldn't work in a garage.
Pretty much in line with each other, which is why I specified a very large garage, but you're right, I don't think a separate garage will work very well. The Spyder could be backed in to the trailer and you wouldn't need as much width further into the trailer. Then put the Harley in the center between the Harley and the back door.

I wondered if we would see this thread over here. Thanks Barney for moving it over.
Welcome Rgus.
That's a lot of cargo you're looking to haul. Do you already have a tow vehicle or are you shopping for the new truck too? That will make a big difference.
Your Harley and Spyder aren't going to fit into a standard garage. You'll need an open model that doesn't have a dedicated garage. The carpet, beds, and dinette fold up out of the way to give you a bigger cargo hauling space than a garage model could handle.
Check out The new Complete List of Toy Haulers and start browsing through floorplans.
Assuming you'll be shopping for a new truck, I can recommend the dealer where I bought mine. https://www.texasdirectauto.com was amazing to work with. I bought a used RAM 3500 dually from them and saved $25k off the price of a new truck. The savings were totally worth the flight from L.A. to Houston to finish the deal and drive back home. Their service was great and they really knew what they were doing. They had an agent here in California who worked directly with the DMV in Sacramento to transfer the title here and license the truck in CA. They were amazing.
Good luck shopping.

You have lots of reading on this site to get up to speed. Also consider if you will be staying in RV parks, or State Parks, or what your destination is going to look like.
Looking forward to following your journey.

As for what brand, I'll give Grand Design a plug. Customer support from this manufacturer has been outstanding.

There are hundreds of floor plan and you can't get the feel for a floor plan
from a diagram or photographs. Walk around the TH, close your eyes and imagine
yourself in the TH - does it fit your lifestyle.
As an example, I go to bed earlier than my wife and I wake up earlier than her, so a separate bedroom is essential for us which our first TT did not have and caused issues.
Is a large bathroom important to you?
Is a large kitchen important to you?
Do you need 2 easy chairs or is a sofa good enough?
How about a place to hang your wet coats and boots?
Can you easily watch TV together ?
etc etc....... and BE PATIENT and don't rush into a decision
