Curious on what everyone's thoughts are on this.
I had a 7x19 (front door and v nose) which only held 2 sleds.
Worked great for snow bikes and dirt bikes though. Towed real easy.
I would like to be able to hold 3 sleds but not drag around a huge heavy trailer which is way overkill for 3-5 dirt bikes. Going up to a steel deck over 8.5x19-21 makes 3 sleds easy but about doubles the trailer weight.
I have pulled an 8.5x16 deck over v nose sled trailer and it pulls a lot harder and blows around a bit more then my inline did, so I was thinking about an aluminum 7.5x19-21 or 7x21-23?
Can you fit 3 long tracks in a 7x21 or 7.5x19?
The aluminum inline trailers cost about the same as steel 8.5 deck overs and weigh almost half and pull a lot nicer.
I camp quite a bit in the summer and my concern with a 7x23 is the low ground clearance for forest service roads.
Maybe I'm dreaming and the best thing is a 8.5x21 for sleds and 7x12 for dirt bikes?
Pulling the trailer with 14 Ram 2500 Cummins, so weight/size isn't a huge concern to the truck but it sure is nice to get better fuel economy on long trips.
