Helpful Expert Reply:

To secure your 1,200 lb Honda Goldwing Trike I would recommend you get two sets of the CargoBuckle Mini G3 Retractable Ratchet Straps # IMF103745-86 that you referenced.

The combined capacity of 4 of these straps would work well for securing your trike to the trailer.

These straps have a Safe working load limit (WLL) of 466 lbs and a max load rating of 1,400 lbs.

We have an option for you so you can know exactly what the tongue weight on your RV is, but because they come in so many shapes and sizes, and because how a trailer is loaded can make the tongue weight vary significantly, a guesstimate is not…

For your enclosed trailer application I have several suggestions for adding interior lighting that you can control directly via a switch. Since your current 4-pole trailer wiring does NOT include a 12V auxiliary power feed that could power inside…

The only way you could power interior dome lights on a trailer without it being connected to a tow vehicle would be to power the lights with a battery like a breakaway battery. How you choose to wire up the batteries will in the end be up to you, but…
