Which Trailer

Finally, I have often needed to load the trailer by myself. It can be a real pain with the tilt. You either need a snow bank to back the trailer into so you don't have to tilt, or you have to bring extra weight to put on the back of the trailer to hold it down.
Haven't had that problem with my Triton w/clamshell cover, it has the spring assist kit shown here:

With a previous open-bed trailer I had with a slush guard, I occasionally needed to prop up the trailer when loading with a 2x4 just in front of the wheel on one side-worked okay in a pinch.
For year-round use trailer style #2 would be more practical.
I would agree with style BUT!!!!!!! I would not get the one in the picture. I had that exact same trailer and did not like it. Ramp was way way to steep ceiling was 2 low (hit your head a lot) and was a little heavy for just a 2 place. But style 2 is better. I just didnt like that perticuler trailer Im assuming its a loadmaster or one of the knockoffs.

Have you thought about a 2 place inline?
I absolutely LOVE my inline, pulls awesome, ramps have low approach angle, and has MUCH more head room.
Check out R&R 7x14 or the 7 1/2x12 powersports trailers.
Or if money is no object pick up a Triton 7x12 - 7x14 or a Legend 7x17 -7x19 (really a 7x12 and 7x14).

I've owned both.......I would seriously keep looking. after owning several types of trailers for several years, I FINALY found/bought what I needed all along. Triton PR147. 14 ft. box, 5 ft. V, twin #3500 lb. torsion axles,spring assist doors front and rear,guides and matts installed,stainless door hardware. VERY nice unit. VERY pricey when new. keep your funds ready and keep looking......you can find a great deal if you are patient. 2-4 yr. old models can be had for under 6K. found mine last January and negotiated the price down to 5K. very reasonable considering it was about 10K when new. just something to think about. alot depends on how far and how often you tow. my .02. hope this helps.

Didn't read this before I posted. I second this. Get a short inline and you will never look back. Unless you want to add more sleds.

I would have to agree with the guys leaning toward an utility style especially since your using it for atv 's also. The clamshells are great for sleds only, storage ect but for multi use trailer you might as well go with an inline or 7x14 with better axles and heavier load tires ect. My buddy found a ramp door front and rear 7x14 steel for less than $3000 used. We had the frame rhino coated and he's good to go at half the cost of aluminum.
