i think so. we shoe-horned (6) pro rmk's in my 28' trailer and it was super tight; seriously 4" shorter and i dont think it would have fit. that extra 2' should be the ticket for the occasional trip with 6 sleds
Hmm
For me the normal is 4 sleds.
The 5th sled will be the odd ball.
Don't foresee ever having to haul 6.
And if I go to 6, then I have to go to a triple axle as well.

I would certainly agree with you.
But I am curious as WHY some think the wall is a good idea?

First Pic. Seen this idea on Craigslist while looking for a trailer. Cross bars clip right into the E Track.
Not for everyone but if you go on any long term trips this makes for more usable storage. The E Track on the Wall will also help if you get dragged into moving any family or friends.

many other suppliers out there.


Second Pic, I seen was this IBEAM idea. not sure who you ride with but my group always has a few that need to be drug onto the trailer at the end of the weekend.


Third Idea. Adding some outdoor speakers. Make sure everyone on the mt. is having as good a time as yourself.

Fourth. holders for everything. like the essentials Paper Towels Solo Cups Etc.

Fifth. Ive been trying to figure out a way to add a shower drain or something in a couple spots to help drain the excess water. Kinda like the Trails West Track melt but not as extensive. if you can think of a way to get the water out without freezing and keep the dust out in the summer then clue me in.

Hopes this helps you or someone else reading along. I've already benefited from several posts.

A winch!!
Dang, that is SERIOUSLY HARD CORE..
I do plan on installing several more little add one from RB components after I take delivery of the trailer.
After all, there is only so much you can ask the manufacturer to do on the initial build.

Christopher,

That schematic looks impressive. The first complaint I see is the man door leading into the side of the widest part of the front sled. With that much real estate there should be room in front of the wheel to put a step down outside and still have the door lead into the gap between sleds, or at least to the rear of the tunnel of the front sled, where you have interior deck space to enter and exit the trailer.

I think the issue there is what I have mounted all along that side wall of the trailer. The door is in the only spot that is open to cut into and not interfear with the Cabinets, The Heater, The Boot Driers, the Wheel Well, Ect

It's certainly a possibility.
But as of right now they haven't even offered me a HINT of when to expect it.
I am hoping I see it sometime in january
