snowpromod Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) I have had a few trailers over the years, I think I'm on number 18 in 8 years - from all my experiences this is my list: 7.5' wide - the perfect width, I have had narrower and wider, the 7.5' seems to be the sweet spot. Fuel Doors - we never use them Man Door - is a must IMO, we are always in and out all the time Finished Interior - I like something on the walls - protects the outside from the inside, and your buddies are never as careful as you are Interior height - 6'6" minimum, it is nice to walk around with your helmet on Length - 18'+V we can get 4 into with some work - I'd say go 20' or 22' Aluminum Wheels Axles - I like the idea of torsion's, but springs are easier to fix road side - we are currently running torsion's Helmet Cabinet - great for getting some stuff off the floor Here is the current rig - R&R PSD .... I have been really happy with R&R Edited January 17, 2019 by snowpromod Pipeman and im4snow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRSchang Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 2012 MXZX 1200, 2015 tnt 900, and a 2017 Blizzard 1200. It's tight, I have to put a towel around the front bumper of the 900 as the front bumper of the MXZX is about an inch away. Things tend to move a bit during travel.

I have been really happy with R&R That’s a nice set up but Is that trailer for hauling sleds? I don’t see any floor protection in there.

We have Torsion and no complaints. -Just remember, the larger the trailer, the larger the "Compensation" for other things..... I recommend the ProLine Trailers, Great Product, Good People. https://nhtrailers.com/ GutZ MrGutz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailblazer Posted February 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Thanks so much to everyone for their opinions and suggestions. I’ve settled on one from Ontario from Beckner & Sons Trailers, I went with the 7 x 18 w/ 3 1/2’ v-nose, equipped it with 4 interior lights, a porch light some o tracks for the super clamps, torsion axles like everyone here suggested and bunch of other goodies you can see in the pics. Once again very appreciated to all of your contributed input.

Fuse6 Posted February 17, 2019 Report Share Posted February 17, 2019 Looks great Trailblazer. You would have drove right past my neighbourhood on your way to pick the trailer up. Someday if you have 3 sleds loaded would like to see a picture of how you have them arranged. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
