Be careful when buying a trailer. Most enclosed have a steep ramp that the sling cannot be loaded on. You really don't need an enclosed one. Consider one with a front shield. May be an optio.
I just recently purchased a used motorhome.
Considering taking it to SSITS, I'll have to trailer the Sling up there and back.
Therein lies the rub...
No trailer! I would like to find an enclosed if possible.
What would be some of the suggestions on what to look for that will make things better, more convenient or just easier?
Is the motor home strong enough to pull a 8 x 14 or 16 trailer. Lots of trailers out there. I use an open 7 x 14 dual axel with a 6ft ramp and extra 3 3ft ramps for loading. I also have a Polaris Trailering cover which works nice.

The only time I trailer is winter from Northern Indiana to Florida for a little warm R & R.
Has the cover ever chuffed the painted finish at 70 or 80 mph?

5 trips to Florida and back ... the only little wear on the roll bars. Very good cover designed for trailering.
I don't know why you would cover on a trailer. You ride without a cover. If your tow vehicle has the correct debris gaurd or the trailer has a front shield, why cover?

Security in hotel parking lots, reduction of detail time from rain along the way, ability to carry tools, fuel, parts, supplies, and even indoor storage at home.
Edit: I may have misread that. These are reasons for a covered trailer, not a trailer cover. I have the Polaris trailer cover and choose not to use it on an open trailer. I'm afraid of damage to the paint at speed.

5 trips to Florida and NO damage to the paint.
Thanks everyone!
Glad I asked, I would have prolly screwed up on ramp angle..
Yes, the motorhome is plenty enuff to tow an 8x16 loaded...
I had already been looking at trailers before the Slingshot, and could use an enclosed for other purposes...
I don't intend on trailering the Sling often, situations like this or dealer trips for mods.
need at least an 8ft wide.
So are you trailering to ssits or riding? Over 50 years of motorcycling and now sling, I always said " if I can't ride, I'm not going!". Fortunately I had a wife with the same mindset.

I will be riding, Georgia will not be with me in Maggie. Little over 600 miles, I'll leave before sun up and get to Maggie about 3:00 pm.

The only time I have trailered was when something was broke. That has been twice since May of 1964. We just have a bunch of -------!

My Sling was trailered 1,764 miles from Minneapolis to my house in Brush Prairie, WA by mniron before I ever saw it. I suggested sending my cover out to him for the trip and he recommended not using it. The only other time I trailered was my 1st Sling to the dealer for evaluation after being rear-ended. It was totalled.
Talked about the paint being buffed a little. My Slingshot has over 100,000 miles on it. Some of the buffing on the roll hoops is more from going down the road than anything else.

my roll hoops also have worn to where the color is gone in spots and I dont have close to 100k nor have I ever used a cover or anything else that has rubbed - I think its just the way they are
I trailer my sling everywhere cause of my 2 dogs. And yes as far as ramp I don’t know the heartache as others I installed air ride right away.
The dogs said they had to be in the pics.
