Jackstraw Posted November 11, 2011 Report Share Posted November 11, 2011 If your only looking for a 2place trailer the clamshell is the way to go. Light, can move it by hand, no brakes to deal with. Mine's 10 years old, grease and go. Replaced One set of wheel bearings to be safe. I have enough stuff to do, don't need trailer maintenance on that list also!

Je me souviens Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 I am with you, for $3000 get a triton 12' clamshell and call it good. Light, no brakes to play with, and perfect for the job. Don't get me wrong, if you got the cash, a big trailer is nice, but you got a lot more weight, and a lot more maintenance, I love my Triton, and will stick with that for now. My friend has a big white elephant, four place, non aluminum, v nose with all the bells & whistles, it's sweet....but bring a Diesel to pull it with, or go home. If you don't have the big paw in front of the big elephant, you are going to have white knuckles the whole way to Sweet Baby St-Ray. Oh By the way, I got my Collett Communicators in the mail yesterday, can't wait to hear what Shannon thinks of my driving all day. lol To be able to warn her the next time we see some honiaks coming the other way, or go over an obstacle, and lest we forget the deceiving corners on Lepine Rd. is priceless.

Willys1 Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Thanks to all who have responded, we all have a funny or not so funny story to tell about trailering through the years, yes the 2 place clamshell is simpler to maintain, but I'd maintain a inline also, whether it was before or after the season, makes no difference to me personally, I liked Timbo"s idea with the hose bibs in the backing plates,seems like Dexter axles are used on about all the trailers I've researched so far, the search goes on!

lindasledgirl Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) I have one more thing to say (often females do lol) I had a two place toy carrier. Worked great! I had a Chrysler Aspen pulling it...no problem. I thought I would go bigger so I could bring 3 sleds if need be. As well...its bigger, kind of my 'dream' trailer. So I bought it and the Aspen worked hard to pull it by the time I had all my "stuff' in it. So...I bought a F150. If I do the math, I likely could have bought a cottage for what I have tied up in all this extra stuff just to 'TOW' my junk around. And now that I can carry more...guess what! I get to wait for people to get off work, pick people up that haven't got a trailer and I spend as much time waiting for riders as anything else. It was easier and cheaper before...but I do love it.

lindasledgirl Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 This holds 3 sleds easily, drive in and out, all aluminum and easy for me to park (in a big parking lot lol). I love it, was my dream trailer. But I had to upgrade my SUV to a truck and now I feel a little more tied down. Its not as easy as my old Toy Carrier.

Trailblazer Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 This holds 3 sleds easily, drive in and out, all aluminum and easy for me to park (in a big parking lot lol). I love it, was my dream trailer. But I had to upgrade my SUV to a truck and now I feel a little more tied down. Its not as easy as my old Toy Carrier. Nice set up Linda, i have a covered double Triton all aluminum, tows very nice, prior to the Triton i used a 5' x 10' Maxi-Roule single flat bed with deflector, still have it too, now i use it behind the atv around my cottage. Never needed a trailer much, mostly left from my back yard, can go basically anywhere in Quebec and Ontario from there. I've always liked the in lines, they track well behind a pick up.

Bill Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 (edited) Nice sled Bill!! I am just waiting for mine but I went with the white colour. Lets see some snow now! Just picked it up on Saturday. I thought mine was the last one shipped!! Hope youes shows soon. Some came in over a month ago. Picked up mine and my buds 800 Cat. We will be doing a shootout all winter Edited November 14, 2011 by Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasledgirl Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Well I told BRP to make sure they had everything perfected before they ship mine! I told them to practice on everyone elses first and send mine once they have everythng 100% lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lindasledgirl Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 And that black looks so good!! I hope I like the white as much! To be honest...I liked the graphics on the Renegade or back country better. I am nervous to be honest. My mechanic wants to put a throttle block on my sled till I hit the 500km mark. I get too excited, have the adrenaline of a 20 year old, think I know everything and my nick name in my group is 'Crash'. But I have been accident free since 2008 now, so I hope to get a new ball cap with something more positive on the back. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
