There are a lot of variables.
For a good fit for the newer mountain sleds, a 20' or 22' box with a 4 or 5' V-nose is about the most common we see here. This would be true for both open and enclosed trailers. If you go with the 7' wide Midwest style enclosed trailer, I think they are going up to 29' overall length to get 4 sleds in.

Looking at the Floe International's website, all trailers (side by side) are 102" wide. http://www.floeintl.com/trailers.asp?pageName=trailersRamp&sm=1

We have a 28 foot...24 feet of straight wall and a 4 foot nose. We have fit 2 -153's , 2 - 144's and a 136 in the V part.
26 footer with the V nose and you can get 5 sled in it. We get 3 XP's 154. 1 xp 163 and Two 153 cats in a 26 footer
Thanks for all the info. What i bought was a 8 by 20 open stage trailer I just wanted to make sure that 4 sleds would fit. 3 for sure. no v nose or nothing. I know i have seen this discution on here before in past years, but i could not find anything when I did a search. Thanks again
Yup, thats a pretty standard 4-place. My aluma is 22' on the square and I can fit both 166's end to end with no overhang if I want. Usually put a 153 up front and the 166s side by side in back and there is plenty of room to walk around/between them that way
well i figured it would work. Mine is the biggest at 146, my sons is 144 and the biggest one of my freinds that rides with me is 163 so i figured if i would stager them a little they all should fit. Now to find cheep or build the tiedowns i just added all them up and it would be over $200 in tie down equipment. I think I will go to a junkyard and see if they have any of them old pickup box linners i can cut them up for ski guids, they also work good for traction to. Any other ideas that I should have for a open trailer?
Some things I made sure of when I bought my 20' this season:
Buy a lock for the hitch. Keep the damn theives away.
I mounted my spare tire underneith the trailer
Made sure the trailer brakes and all wiring works
Re-packed the hubs with grease and checked seals
Waterproofed the wood deck with 3 coats. Then went to a place that does spray in bed liners and picked up 3 used bedliners. It can be done with 2 on a 20' V nose but it's close. I was using Chevy and Dodge bedliners. Sawzall'd the bases from the sides, and threw out the sides. Cutting the strips with a table saw was the cleanest way I could find. I did mine in 6" strips. Would have done 8" strips if I had enough material.
Sometimes sled dealerships that sell trailers have used tie downs sitting around they'd sell you for cheap.
I would either build salt shields or buy some nice covers to protect those sleds.

Get the truck liner from a place that installs the spray on stuff. They will usually have dozens of them lying around.
I personally never tie down my sleds in my enclosed four place..and have never had a problem. Although obviously this is not recommended, especially on an open trailer. For the cheap you could just install some D-rings to the floor and use straps?

.............and if you have ever had a flat in over a foot of snow..the last place you want your spare is under the trailer
I have absolutely no where to mount it on the tongue. Battery box in the way and ramps in the way. The one underneith the trailer is mounted well above the rear axles. Oh and I carry a shovel at all times
I got the same problem with my spare...just no good spot for it. I have seen some mount it kinda high on the inside wall. But my trailer has figerglass walls and not sure if it would support it? It usually just ends up in the back of the truck for the winter.
The only reason I haven't been tossing stuff in the bed of the truck is because of all the horror stories I read of people getting stuff stolen on the Centennial side of the Snowies. I go there enough that I'm worried about it. Otherwise I'd just toss everything back in the bed.
