ahhh, my old toy hauler had a 10' garage and really only 8' of bike hauling capability, so I did the same thing and hauled 4 bikes, my new one has a 12' garage and haules 5 bikes 3 forward and 2 backwards and I think I could put one cross wise to make the 6th. My other trailer is an 8.5 by 20' we haul 2 straight in then 3 backwards then 3 straight in and then 2 backwards, its tight but they fit.
