8.5x16 with 4 or 5 foot v

[burgess]

I was curious if anyone has any pics of a trailer this size with 3 long tracks in it. (155,162,162) I have heard it can be done, but have not seen any pics. I usually haul 3 and dont want to sacrifice the 2 place ability to get back into my camper. Any info appreciated. Thanks,

You'll have lots of room... My trailer is 14' square + 5' V nose and I carry 2-166s and a 155 in it with room to spare. I can put the sleds in any order I want pointing backwards and they fit just fine. If I REALLY wanted to cram the sleds in I bet I could fit 3-174s (though I don't have any to actually attempt it with) lol.

load from front and theres plenty of room

 

[Coldfinger]

So all 3 sleds can be driven in and they are all facing the rear of the trailer, right?

 

[volcano buster]

Correct. I have a 14' w/ 4' V and they fit fine when loading from the front. Then on either side of the tunnel on the front sled there is quite a bit of room for gear or fuel jugs.

You got it!

Easily done....

13'-8" box + 5' V = 18'-8" Actual interior length (classified as 19')

2 w/ 166" track
1 w/ 155" track

Lots of room to spare.

With my 16+5v I put 4 sleds in. I put 3 sleds backwards like 94forduy and I had my trailer try passing me up on an icy road (because of not enough tounge weight, I could lift the front of the trailer by hand) so the only time I get some in there backwards is when I have four. Two forward and two backward.

I'd be nervous about those 900's requiring a floor jack to lift them too. You would think he would put a 900 up front for equal ballast.

Great comment, I'll bet fordguy even chuckled!

LMAO!!!!! I had to change out a broken front IFS spring and hadn't moved it by the time I took the pic... That jack wouldn't be near tall enough for the trenches a 166 makes when you don't back down
