Largest trailer for going up the mountain?

[christopher]

I seriously considered trading in my 28' (22' box + 6'V) BP aluminum trailer for a 32' (24' box + 8' attic) aluminum GN this spring, but it got put on the back burner for now.

As an owner of a 5th wheel RV, I agree with everyone else that states how well they pull vs. a BP.

One thing to consider, the longer the trailer, the more of a pain it is to find parking spots. Cooke City is a prime example of being difficult to find parking/navigating with a long trailer, especially on a busy weekend.

That is a UNDERSTATEMENT.
HORRIBLE parking for trailers in that town

The trick is to show up Wednesday or Thursday. Less people and can usually get parked pretty easy. You can turn way sharper with the gooseneck vs bumper. When you turn, just back up and crank it harder into the turn. Just make sure the trailer doesn't hit the cab corner.

30' bp with 7' interior height. its a big trailer but manageable.



i'd say 5 sleds in it EASY; 6 takes some jockeying. we fit 6 Pro's in my 28' (4 155" and 2 163")



30' Charmac. LOVE it. spread axles make it pull like a dream.





6 sleds in a 28':

- Is this 28' before the v front or after the v? Sharp looking bunch of rides.

Was that a deck over or was there wheel wells? The odds of us always having six is slim. if we did we would just go with the larger trailer from the get go. But knowing we can squeez them in if we need to would be comforting.

it was a trails west so it had the curved floor. sounded good in theory but in the real world i didnt like it .... at all. current trailer is a charmac trisport and it has small wheel wells and i dont really notice them.
