Bike trailer - ease of use for one person?

[goto10]

I'm thinking about getting one of these:

I've read that the MotoLug is the easiest to use, but they're quite expensive, hence the reason I'm looking at the Dave Cooper ones.

Anyway - how easy are these to use on your own? I can imagine trying to get a strap on is quite fun whilst balancing it - is it pretty straightforward or best avoided loading by yourself?

The front wheel should kinda lock into a chock when on the trailer which should make strapping it down easier.

Something like this

I've never had a problem, but seen others struggle.

have tie downs presetup.

You can always setup a bit of wood to be under where your side stand would go, so you can leave the bike on the side stand while sorting out the straps.

I saw one advertised where the front wheel chock was on a runner. You put the front wheel in when the chock is slid right to the back of the trailer. This holds the bike and lets you get off on the flat ground, then you wind a winch to pull the chock to the front of the trailer before securing it all.

It looked really easy. Can't remember what it was called, or where I saw it though. And can't be arsed looking for it.

OK, I know I said I couldn't be arsed looking, but I started to wonder if I did see it. Or if maybe I was pissed and dreamt about it.

Here it's here, Treales Trailers, the series two has the winch.

I have a Dave Cooper trailer, a double one.

I get the handlebar ratchet straps ready first before pushing the bike up onto the front wheel hoop. Whilst holding the font brake on I tighten one slightly on the front brake side (I am standing on the left) then do the same with the clutch side strap. Then I take turns tightening left and right until the forks are as compressed as I want.

The bike will stand up with just these whilst you either fit a third strap over the seat or if you like two extra straps, one from each footrest hanger or rear frame.

I picked up a used trailer for £165 in the end (Trelgo), this one has a chock thing at the front to hold the wheel, came with a loading ramp and jockey wheel.
Cheers all.
