Trikepilot Social

Hi Jon, thanks for the compliment. I had bought the old camper to put in front of homes I was building as a theft deterant, and using a flat trailer to haul my trike. But that meant loading and unloading the trike into the garage every time I flew, and less garage space. Did some measuring one day and found that the trike would just fit. I had to cut a hole in the front and make a "wing box" extension for the wing, wish I had a longer RV! But it works great, the trike is secure and out of the elements. I do get some funny looks as I drive out to the dessert launch area in the pre-dawn darkness, but if they only knew what is inside. I call it my "cracker box" with the "secret toy surprise inside." The bath room was able to stay place...I figure if I do overnight camping, I can use a camp stove to cook. Cheers, J

I'll be using my "toy hauler" now but before, when I thought I'd be traveling in bad weather and all I had was an open trailer, I'd get a roll of palet wrap and wrap her up like a piece of meat (the ultralight) and hit the road. At the other end, a few seconds with a razor blade and I was ready to fly. This is a cheap and very effective solution.

Make sure to do the last pass from rear to front so the wind doesn't get under edges.

I rarely take my trike on a road trip because I have a hangar, but when I do, this is what I use. I would rather have a toyhauler to put it in.

Here is the setup I use, trailer has rear wheel wells and a track up center for nose wheel, the ramps store in the center when moving. The wing is supported by bent U's of exhaust pipe welded to uprights. Recently added a small winch up front to assist in solo loading it.
