I'm sure somewhere in this forum there is a thread about this but they always seem to get off topic. I have chalked it out on the shop floor and 3-153" cats fit in the outline, I would just like to hear from people that have used a trailer this size, and what their thoughts are.

I put a 163 and two 154 XMs in my trailer and I have no problems at all. Pull them in from the front or back them in. My trailer is same size as yours.

Does the 163 tail have to be in the v? That was the only way I figured I could ever get one 163 in my old trailer but never tried it

The tail of the 163 is up in the V of the trailer but that was just because my sled would be the first one in and the last one out when pulling my trailer. Will have to try it other ways this winter to see. I do know there was plenty of room with this configuration. I think I could get two 163s in there.

I have a 17 X 18 with 5' V and three 163 will fit in there all day long, so at 17.5 your definitely good to go. Load from the front and stagger them.

I have managed to get 4 in mine. A 136 a 144 a 151 and a 159. It was very tight and took some maneuvering. Two back words and two forward. 3 153 should be no problem at all.

I have a 7.5X18 w/a 6' V. The V does have shelving in the front that is about 1' deep. The V does not come to a point, this makes the usable space a little wider. I can get 2 154's and 2 163's in it. Three of the sleds face the back and one faces the front. The two sleds on the back of the trailer are inverted. I have had a lot of people tell me that there is no way of doing this but I prove them wrong every trip. My suggestion is to get the sleds there and with some extra help from your riding partners, start trying different ways to load them so that it works out best to also be able to load all gear. Good luck.
