I need to trailer my 600 home. Help!

[zinc2u]

I have used the U-Haul auto trailer to haul a Honda 600.  It worked fine.  The width of the tracks on the trailer just barely accommodated the car.  I used it to haul a coupe and it had stock tires/wheels which are 145SR10.

I had a 600 owner that brought a Sedan over to my house in the bed of a Ford 150.  it worked great.   Maybe better with a Coupe.

Really? What year F150? My boyfriend has an '86 F150. The car isn't
drivable, so we'd need a ramp and a winch to get it into the bed. I
suppose that you were were able to drive it up some ramps?

bring about 6 friends and lift the car up and place it
in the bed of the truck!

If I remember right, this guy backed his truck up to a loading dock and pushed it on.  What year?  Again, it was in 1996 I believe and the truck looked fairly new at the time.

They Will Fit!!
I used a double axel car hauler from Uhaul to move my Z. Do what I
did, tell them it's a 1973. No problemo after that. The only problem
with the trailer is that the wheels have to be PERFECTLY centered over
the open center. When you load it, you'll know what I mean. BUT IT
WILL FIT! I have the photos to prove it. THe trailer is HUGE for that
car, but it'll fit!

when i sold one of my coupes the buyer got the uhaul ramp trailer for
towing cars, the wheelbase on the 600 is right at the minimum to fit
the trailer, uhaul actually wont let you rent it if you tell them you
have a 600 your towing, so you have to tell them its for a like a 90
civic. The second coupe i sold the buyer came with a uhaul trailer
that was used from hauling, that has 4 sides and one that acts as a
ramp, i would highly reccomend using this to transport a car, it fits
perfectly in there! hardest part was strapping it down secure. And
dont tell uhaul your putting a car in it, they will flip.

I used it a little over three years ago. I had to tell them it was a
600, but I assumed it was to make sure I wasn't overloading the tow
vehicle. If you lie to them, make sure the car you pick does not exceed
your vehicle's tow rating (their trailer weighs 2000lbs). I did tow one
with a dolly and it wasn't registered, but I really was ignorant of this
law until later.

I've rented Uhaul's 6' x 12' open trailer. It has double axles and my
boyfriend says we'll make ramps out of 2" x 8" wood. And since the
car is non-functioning plus the tires don't hold air, I will get a
come along winch to pull it up into the trailer. And there is a
chance of borrowing someone's car trailer too. We will attempt this
on Sunday... in the winter cold. My boyfriend is such a
procrastinator. Wish us luck! Thanks very much for everyone's input!
:)
BTW the smaller 5' x 9' open trailer does have a better ramp but my
boyfriend preferred having the double axles. Oddly, they were the
same price to rent. And no, we are not telling Uhaul what we are
hauling with the open trailer.
