I have my eye out on this Clamshell enclosed trailer. It's gonna be really close on this working. The trailer is stated to be 10' 2". We have two Polaris RMK's being 10' .75" What are your opinions?

It's hard to find these types of trailers used, and being I have a jeep wrangler unlimited, it simply can't tow too much, and these trailers would be ideal. (I'll be looking at it on Friday)

TIA

I would take your sleds if you can and check what room if any you have after they're loaded in there. IF it was me, I'd look for a 12' one, but that's just me.

I'm meeting up with the seller this coming Friday, and I'll be bringing both sleds. I would love to get a 12' but you just don't see them around here!

I don't have the budget for a new one, and really would like to keep the sleds covered when pulling them/staying overnight.

This would be a great alternative for having an enclosed trailer.

I would say the sled will not fit. Anything longer then a 121" track would be tight.give it a try, but you can't stretch. 10' trailer. Sorry for the bad news.

I picture the front and rear being tapered. The 10'2" is likely an optimistic point at the trailer deck which is the furthest point.

From what I have seen a 10' clamshell will not hold the 154+ sleds "usually". Now some of the designs are a bit different but as a general rule the "mtn sleds" usually need a 12'. Good Luck and hopefully they fit in the 10' for you.

Yeah, I'm kinda thinking no, but I decided I would try? I will find out on Friday, and update when I find out.

I do know the way the trailer is designed, it's slightly different then some of the trailers, as far as the shape of it.
