Sorry if the U-Haul guys took it personal. I don't need ALL the facts to bash a company based on my personal experience. Based on the comment, "if you get shitty service it's cause most of the dealers don't care,it's just another sort of income for them," my experience isn't unique.

The standard U-Haul motorcycle trailer is marginal for a RG both in size (7'8") and weight limitation (950 lbs.) I've never found it advisable to push the weight limitation on a trailer, especially if you're not used to it. And this trailer is single-axle, far more prone to getting squirrelly than a tandem-axle.

The next size up U-Haul utility trailer (5 X 9), can handle size and weight more safely, but it is still single axle. I don't recommend utility trailers at all-one brief rain shower and your bike will arrive NASTY. Forget the cover-it's not designed for this and will probably shred within 50 miles. You're better off buying/renting a 5 X 10 enclosed, tandem-axle trailer.

Just my humble opinion-everyone has one.

Thanks for the input everyone, All for nothing unfortunately. The local dealer tried to steal from me. I was desperate and called the national reservation line and reserved a trailer at another location. When I got there they tried the classic Up-Sell to a bigger trailer with no wheel hoop/chock (which was explicitly promised on the reservation) stating the reservation taker was mistaken that they had what I wanted. They gave me the runaround for over an hour in the store and on the phone. I was even accused of trying to steal the trailer!!! I'll start shopping around for my own very soon...
