Just picked up a TRV 400, and have a 14x6.5 Trailer to tow it on. So, to any of the TRV Guys out there, what size trailer do you have, and can you fit any additional machines on the trailer? I'd like to fit 1 or two more on it if possible. Thanks.

When I bought our 650H1 TRV last yr:

I ended up purchasing a 5x10' utility trailer on 15" rims. I also bought the AC custom cover for it to protect it from the elements (no garage).

BUT when we decided to add ANOTHER machine to the mix:

the wifey's '09 550:

We discovered that the 5x10 was definately TOO small, and I'm not one to load quads into the back of my short box chevy. I'm gett'n too old......:rolleyes:

So we went with a 16x7 enclosed "shed/hauler" for both machines:

It works really well with about 6" to spare all around & in between the machines when loaded. Plus it now doubles as my storage shed.
The trailer ran about $5400 when it was all said and done. Loaded w/both CATS it's about 3800lbs GVR which is about ALL I'd pull behind a 1/2 ton that's 15yrs old w/158K on 'er.
