Thanks HD4, Have a 1998 Newmar Dutch Star with diesel 5.9L cummins, My VTX 1800 Trike I would guess at about 1200 pounds. I have a 5 x 8 open cargo trailer, but when Trike is loaded, about 1/2 of the back Wheels stick out the back. Hauled it from Birmingham Alabama back to Kentucky, but don't think I would use this trailer....swayed a lot. Great advice on trailer weight. Hope those are regs in most states as we are going to Oregon mid-September.
