    I am considering buying an enclosed trailer and would prefer a 6x12 over a 7x14 but am concerned that a 6 ft wide trailer will have enough room to 2 pins side by side. Can anyone with a 6 ft wide trailer give me some insight? Thanks

    I had recently rented a 5x8 single axle Uhaul trailer in hopes of fitting just 2 machines side by side and 1 in the bed of my truck. To my surprise, I was able to load all 3 (folded and on their backs) and still could have fit 3 more.

    6x10 can fit 6 pins folded. 7x14 can fit 10 pins folded packed in tight. Pic is 2 6x10 trailers.

    Great, I want a 6 ft because of better vision behind me. I am thinking about a dual axle and brakes 6x12, which is a special order as most only have single axle and don't want to make a mistake on the size. I only want to buy it once. Thanks

    I would recommend a dual axle trailer for a better ride for the games. I currently use a H&H 7x14 dual and it rides so much better than the one picutured. I also have the extra height version so I can stand a video up if I need to. Would also recomment a ramp vs barn doors.

    The most important feature (by far) to consider is the pull-down ramp door on the back. Without it you are still heaving the games to get them up in there and defeating the #1 reason for having a trailer to begin with. I would suggest foregoing all other options in favor of that one. Your back will thank you for it, and it makes loading everything much easier.

    Hey Mike, might be worth the couple dollars to have another 6-12 inches of height added to the trailer. In my trailer I can stand up in it but will hit my head thru the door and I know you are taller than I am.
