Fitting sleds in enclosed trailers

[adamg]

I think this site needs a place where folks can post how many sleds they can fit in their enclosed trailers, how they did it, and how big the sleds were.

For instance I'm looking at buying a 7 x (20+5) enclosed and want to be sure that I can fit four mountain sleds in it (at least one being a 174"). It's hard to find this information.

Bonus points for picture of your fully loaded trailer.

I have a 28' enclosed, it holds 4 comfortably, and 5 if I have to. With the entire V nose floor open. I wouldn't think twice about putting 5 - 174's in it.

Drive the first 2 in and kick the ass ends over to the wall. Drive the 3rd up the middle and back the last 2 in.

I have seen guys with the same trailer, drive 3 in on the right and the other 2 on the left.

29x8.5 with 5ft v nose.

4 174 - straight in



3 163 - 2 174 backing two into the v then driving 2 straight in bumper to bumper. Split the ends and drive in 5th 163.

Usually only Cary 5 163 in this same pattern but it's a lot less tight than with the 2 174.

Have 5 T3 174 coming so we will see of we can fit them next fall

Doubt your gonna be able to fit 4 big mountain sleds in there. I had a 29 ft 7 foot wide and the width makes it hard to put lots of long sleds in since they're staggered.

i could fit 1 163 and 3 154s in easy but 4 163s would have taken driving one in, backing the next in, one more forward and one back.

this was on a stealth predator 29' 7 wide.... Towed unreal tho. Was like towing nothing (if there was no cross wind)

[jjack]

ya you should go bigger I have 8x22 and 4 is full at 7 wide don't think youll make it

 

[straightshooter]

I wedged 5 in my 22 plus 5 foot v x 8.5 wide. 3 153 m8s and 2 163 pros with room to spare for all our riding gear. we also don't care of they rub a little. If u are scared to scratch it u should have left it at the dealer.....

ive put 3-154 and 3-163 in my 22 with 5' v and 8.3wide drive in 1, back in 2 and 3, drive in 4 and 5, back in 6 skies overlap and bit, and more important make sure you get one with good axles IMO i think the 3500 lb axles are not enough especially for those times you start picking up allot of snow

7x27. Can fit 4-162's. Load from front and stagger them. Added a few extra tie downs in the right locations.

I have a 7x27 MTI. 22' +5'. It tows very well. Most we've fit in there has been 2x154's, 1x163, and 1x174 with a bit of room to spare. I know 4 x 174's wouldn't fit. 163's..maybe...

If I had to do it again, I would try to find a 7.5' wide. If I did that I could probably fit 4 S36 machines side by side and that little extra room would be nice.

I agree with the axle comment. Go heavier if you can. Even hitch ball. I've noticed some Stealth's have 2" recievers...seems odd..feel better with the 2 5/16".

SummitRic has a picture at Kuster Camp, He had a triton 22FT trailer and they put 6 sleds in it. A 174 and a bunch of 163's.
