That would work if they all had reverse
Got some old ones with no reverse for the grandkids
The reason I got the inline to drive thru

If you are trying to get the most sleds in you should load from the front to the back, otherwise it doesn't matter very much

This. Most logical, most space saving, plus on a cold morning when sleds don’t want to move, it’s much easier to shoot straight out the back than finagle them out the front, or trying to back them out.

Back to front = more tongue weight. Front to back = less tongue weight.

Normally, I have 3 in my 4-place but I will load them so they are facing the rear making it easy to drive out. This also seem to be the best weight distribution. If loading 4 they have to go in this way. I can drive-through but it seems most often I just back in the backdoor. LOL
Sled in the nose have the track in the V. I adjust the other two so they balance on the trailer axles. I weighted my trailer when I picked them up out of summer storage this year. These were my weights:
Note all of my add-ons for camping and "normal things" (tools, chairs, beds, Roof mounted AC, 20' awning) add a 1000 LBS over the base trailer weight.
I have a 2015 ZR9000 (back of trailer), 2016 ZR5000 (middle of trailer), and a 2007 Phazer (Front of trailer) also they are all 4-stokes.
The trailer is a 2014 R&R 2275PSD (22' Box 5' V and 7.5' Wide) Floors, walls, and ceiling are all 16" OC.

I load either way. Depends on how the parking is at different locations.

Doesn't really matter. You'll ALWAYS need to work on the one you can't easily get too..... As is the case with my bullnose front (no drive-out) in-line anyway. LOL!

That is so true! No matter how I plan something always changes and it seams like multiple sleds have to be move to get the one you want...

Three place V-nose and we always load front to rear, easier to arrange them when they are at the widest part of the trailer and very easy to nurse them out when they are warming up.
