Looking to buy an enclosed snowmobile trailer


Recommended Posts

Want to get an enclosed snowmobile trailer before next winter. Just like anything there are a lot of different brands and shapes and sizes. But here is what I'm looking for. I want a trailer to fit 3 sleds and also be able to haul a couple motorcycles in the summer and just be able to haul misc. stuff when needed. A  V nose with drive off ramp looks like a good idea for snowmobiles and probably good for motorcycles to. Possibly Aluminum for less weight and rust. What length and width would be good for 3 sleds? And what are some of the better built brands out there. Been doing a little looking on line but will go out and look at some when the weather warms up.

We bought a 29 foot V Nose Lightning Trailer a few years ago and we've been real happy with it, it's 7 foot wide, rings in the floor, interior lighting, roof vent and fuel doors, fits 4 mountain sleds with no problem in a staggered configuration (not side by side ). They have motorcycle packages for their trailers too.

The trailer is all aluminum and we've pulled it several times with 1/2 ton trucks out too Cooke City and where ever, pulls real nice.

Another all aluminum trailer is the EZ Hauler, very similar to the Lightning trailers.

Did a little searching on line and Triton and Aluma seem to be high rated to. They also seem the most expensive but that is to be expected if they are built better. I guess I will need to get out and look at some when it warms up. One thing that was brought up was to look at the doors and hardware and of coarse the frame. Definitely want to buy a good one as I tend to keep things for a long time. Also leaning towards aluminum for weight and rust.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
