So i’m looking at getting single 5’x10′ low rail ramped trailer for my ice fishing setup (my flipover is too heavy to get into the SUV trunk by myself) Will this size trailer hold a full size Yamaha Grizzly 550 driven straight up the ramp (not sideways)plus an Otter Pro Cabin ice house pushed in sideways together? The quad is 6′ 7″ long and the Otter Cabin is 36″ wide, so in theory they should fit, but the Otter cabin is 65″ long I’m assuming at the top of the sled edge? will it fit sitting sideways on the trailer within the rails? will this allow enough room to close the ramp? I would rig a simple cargo net attached to the trailer rails to go over the otter when traveling.
If this fits, it will make life so much easier just pulling the otter down the ramp and then backing the quad down and driving off..
This is the type of trailer I was thinking about:
What about parking the ATV to one side, flipping the Otter on it’s side, loading it lengthwise and tilting it up against the ATV? Seems like that would work but you would probably need to unload the sled. Either way, they’re going to pick up a ton of road grit.
I put my Otter in my capped pick-up bed when I tow my ATV and simply load and unload it over the front of the trailer. It’s pretty easy, but if you’re trying to do this without a truck, maybe not so much.
