7' x 20' as well. Flat or round does not matter to me and I've had both. I am able to get 4 long track sleds in my 20 footer with room to spare. Get the extra height if you ever plan to get a side x side. I wish I had but I didn't. Lesson learned on my part.

I would also recommend an all aluminum trailer with Stainless Hardware and electric brakes on both axles. From there you can get whatever options that suit your needs.

X2 Also if you ever decide to sell it will help with selling it. I sold my trailer a couple years back and #1 question was trailer height of the rear ramp for SxS, could of sold it 10 times over. Bought a brand new one and still didn't get the added height, wasn't thinking of a SxS but now we are.

i am in the same boat looking at a trailer for 3 136's so when you say 20ft is that just the box or does that include the v nose from what i have researched a 18 ft box with a 5ft v is what you need for 3 sleds toatal length 23ft correct me if i am wrong here

We have a 7x23 which includes the 5 ft V. Box is 7x18 and we get a 144, the wife's 136 and the kids 2 121's in with no issues. We have had 2 144's and 2 136's in but it was tight. A 7x23 trailer will hold 2 136 and a 121 with a lot of extra room.

7" x 18' with a 5' V will haul three sleds straight in. You can get four sleds in but you will need to drive two in and back two in. I could get three long tracks and a short track in this way and still have room for my gear.

You are correct about the 18' box and the 5' V totaling 23'

The trailer I just had custom built is a 7' x 20' with a 5' V. That is a 20' rectangular box with the 5' V added to that (25') I can run three long track sleds straight in or back two in and drive two in--four long tracks with room to spare for gear.

Hope this is helpful with your decision making. Good luck with your search and hopeful purchase.

Not to stick my nose in your business, but you may want to check out RnR Trailers or NEO Trailers. Good bang for the buck.
Not sure about NEO but I do know RnR will custom design and build whatever you want.

Depends on which side x side you may want. I just bought a Can-Am Maverick Max Xrs 1000 and the height of the machine is 78". My trailer is 6'6" interior but my door clearance is 74". The Maverick WILL NOT clear my door opening.

Keep in mind--This is what I needed. Other side x sides are shorter. Once you are in the trailer you have more head room--It's the door opening that is critical. I would think 7.0 should be O.K.

yea Go fast i am leaning towards the R&R they are pretty close to where i am at was going to go to the shop in 3 rivers and check out some trailers there price wise they are fair looking at the Slasher elite seems you get alot of standard upgrades that other manufacturer charge extra for the only thing i worry about are the 24"oc cross members that seems a little skimpy considering i have Yamahas might have to ask for the 16" oc for extra $

Lots of talk about trailer height....how much does the height impact how it tows - gas mileage and getting blown around in the wind

Saber---My 18 foot RnR had 24" cross member centers and I had Zero issues. My new custom built RnR has 16" centers. I can't tell any difference.

I live 15 miles South of the RnR factory and lot. If you would like to look at mine in detail send me a PM.

The trailer I just sold was a 7' x 18' with a 6' height.

The trailer I had custom built is a 7' x 20' with a 6'6" height.

I have pulled both with my Silverado 2500HD 6.0. and I can not tell much difference between the two. Gas mileage sucks either way, and the wind seemed the same also.

That's what I got. I was looking at their E-bay listings last night and not sure if they changed the package deal or not, but last year it came with the cabinet, 4 interior led lights, front and back led loading lights, aluminum wheels, radial tires and two tone color scheme all included. Still had the typical single latch system, all led running lights, side door, and who knows what else.

Did you order one, or buy one they had in stock? You need to go get it, or did you buy one they are bringing to the Milwaukee show?
