[@the-d-man1013]

Good presentation on the trailer. I would recommend to do what I did to my trailer I had it rhino covered it's the same stuff you put in the bed liner of your truck Works will keep the tires from slipping. add a couple extra lights on the trailer in the back for better safety. Be safe have fun keep the videos coming. 🏍🏍🏍

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Thanks Dave we appreciate it! Great idea on the Rhino I’m going to look into that. I added reflective red tape on the back ramps for night time driving, definitely want to make sure people see me! Safe travels

[@houch7640]

Nice! you will eventually damage the rims with the hooks of the straps. Try putting a cloth on the rims first, it works!

[@guzzialfa]

I'd go one step further and tie down the front straps by securing the hook into one of the holders for them on the front of the trailer. Nothing but strap through those expensive mag wheels! Nothing but strap! My stars are those wheels expensive. Plus they change them every year so getting identical ones to your model 3 or 4 years down the road may be a fruitless endeavor. That would make me sad...hope you change the way you strap and don't damage your rims. Can you put a link up on how you mounted your spare? I really like that and would like to do just as you did there too!

Great info we are considering either a class a or c to pull our 7x14 enclosed trailer for a 2020 RT limited. Good travels and be safe.

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. An enclosed trailer is a great option because of the extra storage and protection it provides the bike. Either rig should have plenty of power to pull it, happy travels ahead!

Found your channel. Recently sold my VTX1300S, which I put about 40,000 miles on. Now I am thinking about a Can Am RT Limited and would love to pick-up a Jayco Greyhawk 31F Class C (or similar). Your video was very helpful. Admittedly, I haven't sold my wife on all this yet. We'll see. Lots of grandkids we could take on some memory making trips. I will be checking out more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@WanderOpenRoads]

[@suziedupree6016]

Thanks for the video! We are new to rving, and have a Spyder that we want to take along.

[@WanderOpenRoads]

You’re very welcome! We love taking our Spyder on our camping adventures because it adds so much to our fun. Whenever we camp in a new area, I check online for motorcycle routes in the area and we ended up taking rides, finding cool spots for hiking and kayaking along with all of our campground activities. It’s really added a lot for us! 😊

[@christinacantu8390]

Hi, so we are full time RV’s and we also have a Can AM Spyder. It’s exactly like yours. We never got around to getting a stinger trailer to pull it. But we did get a utility trailer. We just haven’t taken it with us. But seeing you guys taking yours I think we just might take it next trip. My husband was even talking about selling it, because we couldn’t take it with us and still take the vehicle. But after watching your videos I think we may just try taking it instead of the other. Thank you for the videos.

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Awesome 😎 Having the bike with us on the road really adds a lot to the experience. Enjoy!

[@ournewseason]

Great video on the Stinger. You made my decision easy. I was torn between a utility trailer and stinger. In my case folding at home is not a big point. However, you mentioned "possibly" folding at campsite was something to think about. The deciding factor was the ease that you moved the trailer yourself at the campsite. Thanks so much...

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jasonbreedlove495]

Awesome, we are looking at one of these for my wife's F3t. Do you do any tie downs on the rear or just up at the fromt wheels?

[@WanderOpenRoads]

I just apply the parking brake and strap the two front wheels

[@troy9er]

Nice, however I don’t think I’ll be trailering my Spyder if I decide to buy one. Subbing anyway. Nice info, thanks for sharing.

[@gorillagrowerfixx4315]

Thank. U. Been looking

[@WanderOpenRoads]

No problem 😎

[@PapiOso55]

Great video. Do the parks count this as extra length when going to some parks. I’m thinking of hauling my Harley around.

[@WanderOpenRoads]

No, since it's removable it's not counted. We always tell them we have a 32' motorhome and a motorcycle and that's it

[@TheNutriarat]

Great video. Liked, subscribed and hit the little bell.....lol.

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Awesome! 😎

[@patomalley7288]

Great video! There was one post that didn't get answered about stone chips. Do you use anything to protect the front of your Can Am?

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Thanks! We don't do anything to protect the Spyder and we don't have any damage to the bike. The tires on our RV are wider than the trailer and it blocks debris.

[@elizabethrowland2756]

Great video on the stinger trailer.! Do you folks pull your spider behind the RV uncovered, or do you cover it when you hit the highway driving?

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Thank you 😊 we tow the bike uncovered and we’ve never had an damage to the bike while towing, it’s totally covered being behind the RV and the front ramps in front of the bike tires handle any rocks that may be kicked up.

[@bigfredtn]

Subscribed.

[@chuckkelley5894]

Great video, thanks! I'm waiting for delivery...we hauled it to Breckenridge over the weekend on a flatbed trailer. It broke free of the straps and slid to the front of the trailer. Thank God it didn't fall off and kill someone!!! Strapped and parking brake on is not enough to keep these in place. That's what I like about the design of The Stinger. Had all kinds of trouble loading and offloading...bottoming out, etc. Are you experiencing any loading/offloading issues with The Stinger? My appreciation in advance!

[@WanderOpenRoads]

We haven’t had any loading or unloading issues with the Stinger. I did add some anti- slip tape to the ramps just in case we’re loading in rain or the bike tires are wet. The way that we strap the bike down, we haven’t had any issue although I have since learned that the bike is designed to be strapped down from the foot boards. After over 2 years and 15,000 miles on the Stinger, I’d still recommend it.

[@bobharrington2664]

Excellent video! It doesn't look like you tie down the rear wheel. Why is that? doesn't it jump around? I just put my order in for one .

[@WanderOpenRoads]

No, we don’t strap down the rear wheel, that will actually void your Can Am warranty. We strap the front wheels and have started strapping down the front floorboards to the trailer for redundancy.

[@teamus1756]

Job well done, I miss my RV but had to sell it because I wasn’t using it. Is that the largest trailer they have. We have two can am rykers and want to trailer them

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Thanks so much! As far as I know, they only make single bike trailers but I'd check with them directly because they'd probably be able to build a double.

[@johnblackburn7324]

Can you show the tire mount set up

[@mcgowananderson7405]

Good evening hopefully you are doing well. I have purchased a stinger can am trailer and I accidentally hit the wire case and separated the wires. I reconnected the wires and was unsure of where the red wire went. I connected the red to black and hooked the trailer to my truck and knocked out my rear brake and signal lights. Do you know where/what the red wire connects to? To open the box it has two Phillips screws on top of the box. Thanks for your help

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Sorry to hear that… I’m not familiar with the wires you’re referring to or maybe I’ve just never had to manipulate them. Generally red wires are positive and black is negative so I’d try to match them up that way but I’m no electrical expert. I hope you can figure it out!

[@mcgowananderson7405]

@WanderOpenRoads thank you for the quick response, i was hoping you were close to your yrailer so that you could unscrew the black wire box and share where the red wire was attached. I am preparing for daytona and wanted to make sure I didn't have any issues thanks again McGowan Anderson

[@scootertrash7858]

Nice video. How did you mount the spare tire and what is the square tube attached at the front of the trailer?

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Thanks! The square tube is just a part of the trailer. I attached the tire to the trailer frame with a u-bolt I bought from Lowe’s.

[@rebelthompson5519]

Great setup! Do those straps come with the trailer or did you purchase them separately? If separate, where did you get them? thank you and stay safe! :)

[@elizabethrowland2756]

Great idea to carry a spare tire for the trailer, do you also carry spare for the Spyder?

[@WanderOpenRoads]

The Spyder has a different tire for the front and rear tires and it would be difficult to jack up because of the tire configuration. We have roadside service for our vehicles and they’ll bring whatever size and type of tire we need for our RV or truck. The trailer tire is a basic and easy change so we figure we’d tackle that if needed.

[@theflyingfletchers7119]

What did you use to mount your spare tire onto the stinger trailer?

[@WanderOpenRoads]

I mounted a spare tire carrier to the frame and bought a spare tire with a rim. Here’s the part I bought from Amazon a.co/d/hfzLcB9

[@theflyingfletchers7119]

I’m interested in getting a Can am spider someday also as a tow vehicle. Did you ever think of purchasing a motorhome that is a toy hauler? Do you ever wish you had a car instead of the Can-Am? My wife won’t ride on the back of a motorcycle anymore. But I think she would be OK on the back of a Can-Am. Much more fun than a car.

[@WanderOpenRoads]

All good questions… we bought the motorhome before the bike, so with hindsight being 20/20, we may have considered a Class A Toy Hauler, but they’re not many that we really like. Overall we love having the bike as our toad because the experience of exploring new areas is so much better on the bike. We generally do our long trips from spring to early fall so the weather is always pretty good. We’ve been rained on a few times but with the Can Am storage, we always have rain gear with us. There’s never a perfect situation unless you can put your bike in a toy hauler and tow a car also with your RV. We really love our Class C so I’m not sure if it would be worth it to us to have another rig just for the purpose of having a garage for the bike. If we ever end up replacing the trailer or the rig, we’ll definitely have a lot to think about. 🤔

[@theflyingfletchers7119]

I did end up buying a Can-Am spider and a motorhome. Now I’m thinking about a trailer. Have you had any problems with that trailer that you own? I’ve looked at a lot of different types of trailers, but I think that might be the best because I could maneuver it in the campsites by myself, if the campsite is tight, which, sometimes they are very tight. I know there’s no leaf springs on that trailer, so has that ever been a problem for you? Have you been able to tow that trailer at at least 60 miles an hour?

[@WanderOpenRoads]

We haven’t had any problems at all with the trailer and we drive normal highway speeds, 65-75 mph towing the trailer with no problems.

[@theflyingfletchers7119]

Thank you so much for helping out. I ended up buying stinger trailer to pull behind our RV. Today it will be DMV time. I am praying it goes real smooth.

[@DTD110865]

The trailer should have a storage unit for all those pins, along with the spare tire mount.

[@the-d-man1013]

Hey guys I watch this video before and I gave it thumbs up. I was just wondering now you've had the trailer for a while do you still feel like it was a good purchase could you do a recap I have been looking for a trailer for my Can-Am Spyder been flip-flopping back and forth between the one you have in a regular trailer you can let me know I appreciate it. As always keep the videos coming🏍🏍🏍🏍🍦

[@WanderOpenRoads]

We’re definitely still happy with the trailer and we’ve had no issues since we’ve had it. You just can’t beat the light weight and portability. My only concern was if I’d have rocks, etc from the road hitting it since it’s an open trailer and I’ve seen no damage at all. We’ll probably do a follow up at some point, but right now, no news is good news!

I'd really be interested in knowing if anyone experiences "road rash" (from rocks/dirt/debris) to the painted surfaces or the windshield when trailering. I haven't seen much talk about using covers but understand they do damage when air/wind gets under them. Your thoughts please? Thanks.

[@WanderOpenRoads]

We’ve traveled over to 15,000 miles with this trailer and I’ve never seen any noticeable dings or scratches after trailering the bike.

[@chiefdog1019]

Nice video but my OCD kicked in when I saw the hooks on your ratchet straps cranked into your wheels.

[@jackgibsxxx0750]

I would not even "unlock" the hitch (or remove lights\chains) until after unloading the bike. And have the hitch "locked" before loading the bike. I have seen 3 dif people pop the trailer up by just sitting it on the hitch. Slight damage to bike once and flipped the bike once. All trikes. And no not me.

[@WanderOpenRoads]

Good tip, thanks
