Guys, I need to start looking for a trailer to haul the Rhino. I have my huge enclosed trailer, but I want a regular hauler for when I am not staying overnight and something that will not eat me up in gas. I am thinking of 6x12 or maybe even 6x14. I know a 12 would work, but I would like to maybe rig a way to haul the King and the Rhino, with the King sideways or something. I am thinking it will cost a little over a thousand and thats fine. Does anyone know a dealer that has something like that and is close in WV or KY?

I think you need at least a 6 x 12 to get your rhino and king on there comfortably.

A rhino is 9-1/2 feet long better get something longer than the 6x12 if you want to haul both.

6' wide trailers are too tight for rhinos imo - especially if you put spacers or offsets

I HAD a 7x12 and it was perfect - but found out it was stolen last week from my neighborhood trailer storage yard - phucking thiefs - I will shoot first and ask questions later!

Yeah that is some bullsh**. When I move back to FT Campbell they want us to keep our stuff in a consolidated yard too. Aint no way I am going to be complacent and not be out there checking in on my camper/trailer. I think it's a crock that they won't let us keep them at our houses on post. Not too much I can do unless I move off post. Hope you had insurance on it at least.
I am leaning to a 6x14 maybe, dunno. I have time to look around. I just hope I can find one reasonable so I don't have to haul my huge trailer all the time when I am just going out for a day.

be sure to measure inner distance of floor space - some 6' traielrs have a metal angle bracket that protrudes into the inner floor plan making in really 5'9" or so - and Im telling you - thats a tight fit in a rhino - can it be done yes - but very tight....

best of luck - a nice trailer makes longer trips much easier!!

rcmass is correct. They vary from 5'6" to 5'9", wide. With stock tires I have about inches on either side. I do flip my wheels from time to time and it wont fit without some help.

Our 6x12 measures 6'4" x 12'1" usable floor space, so, they do vary. You WILL need more than 12' to add a quad to the load. Ours is a Gatormade from Somerset KY, btw.

Hey LT....my trailer is a 7' X 16' .my opinion is that it is just about right......FOR ME. I can get the Prowler and a Quad on and still have room, and a little extra room is always nice I think. :<peppers: allright
